Apply for agricultural rebates

As from 1 July 2019, the process for applying for an agricultural rebate will change. There is no longer a requirement to apply for an agricultural rebate. In accordance with the Municipal Property Rates Act and the City of Cape Town’s Rates Policy 2019/2020, property that is being used primarily for agricultural purposes will be categorised as agricultural property and will be rated at 20% of the residential rate-in-the-rand.
