How to search the valuation roll online

The General Valuation Roll database below may be used to confirm your property and valuation information. You may also use it to compare your property value against similar properties in the area. This will help you decide whether or not you have grounds for an objection.

You may search by:
  • Site address
  • Erf number
  • Farm
  • Sectional title
  • Reference number

    Site address
    To search for your property by site address, you need to know how it has been spelt on the City’s database. To find the spelling, please refer to section three of your valuation notice (i.e. 3 Lawrence Road; or 3 Laurence Rd). To make it easier, you may search in several ways: Type in the street number e.g. 12 and/or the street name e.g. Hertzog. You may also do a wild card search by typing in the name of your street only, preceded and followed by the percentage sign, e.g. % fern %. In this instance, you would then look through all the other 'Fern' roads or streets until you find your property.

    Erf number
    This is the unique number of the erf (land parcel or property) on the Surveyor General’s diagram and is the legal description of your property.
    To search by erf, simply type in the number without the suburb name (to include the suburb in your search, you need to know exactly how it has been spelt in the City’s database).
    Look through all the other properties with the name erf number until you find your property. The erf number of your property can also be found on your rates account.

    Farm
    Find your farm number on your valuation notice – it will not be on your rates account.

    Sectional title
    To search for your sectional title property, you need to know the spelling of your sectional title scheme name and the unit number. If you do not know your unit number, simply type in the scheme name, and search for your individual property. If the unit number is not listed, then find the property by owner name.

    Reference number
    You will find this unique number below the barcode on your valuation notice; it will start with three letters, such as SPM (the former South Peninsula Municipality) or HEL (the former Helderberg Municipality). This number does not appear on your rates account.
