A general valuation roll is a document that contains the municipal valuations of approximately 800 000 properties in Cape Town. Using the municipal property valuation stipulated in a general valuation roll, the City of Cape Town calculates the rates you will pay for your property. A general valuation roll is produced every four years, as stipulated within the Municipal Property Rates Act, no 6 of 2004.

 

The municipal valuer is responsible for producing a general valuations roll, and is assisted by professional valuers, statistical analysts, data collectors and support staff.

 

The latest valuation roll, General Valuation Roll 2012 (GV2012), has been published and all listed properties have been valued at market value as at the date of valuation, 1 July 2012. This ensures that your property rates are charged fairly.  

 

The current valuation roll for the City must be updated at least once a year and can only be done via a Supplementary Valuation Roll (SVR). Only a subset of the properties in the municipality is valued in an SVR, and valuation notices are posted to owners of all properties valued on an SVR, to the address we have on file.

 

The latest SVR - SV01 - was certified on 30 April 2013, with an objection period from 21 May until 30 June 2013. For more informaiton on  the SV01 objection process and for instructions on downloading the objection form, visit our How to Object page.

 

Note: Until 30 June 2013, rates will be calculated on the GV2009 values. The GV2012 and SV01 values will be implemented on rates accounts as of 1 July 2013.
