The metro is compiling the fourth General Valuation Roll.<\/p>\n

The valuation roll consists of property information of all rateable properties within the boundaries of the municipality for determination of assessment rates.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The General Valuation Roll under compilation will be implemented from July 1, 2021, and be valid until June 30, 2025.<\/p>\n

As part of the compilation process, the municipal valuer and his team will have to physically inspect some properties and they will need access to be able to carry out inspections.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

Physical inspections for purposes of compilation of the General Valuation Roll started on February 4 and will continue until January 26, 2021.<\/p>\n

In terms of Section 41(1) of the Municipal Property Rates Act as Amended (MPRAA), the valuer of a municipality, assistant municipal valuer, data collector or other person authorised by the municipal valuer in writing, may:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Between 7.30am and 7pm on any day except a Sunday or public holiday, enter any property in the municipality that must be valued in terms of this Act (MPRAA).<\/p>\n

\u2022 Inspect that property for the purpose of the valuation.<\/p>\n

\u2022 If a person authorised by a municipal valuer in terms of subsection (1) is not in possession of an identity card in the prescribed format containing a photograph of that person, the municipality must issue to that person such a card.<\/p>\n

Residents are, therefore, requested to give access to the municipal valuer and his team.<\/p>\n

The team will be carrying out inspections wearing a uniform, which consist of lime T-shirts, yellow bibs and white cricket hats\/caps.<\/p>\n

They must also have an identification card.<\/p>\n

Owners of income producing properties and specialised properties are requested to cooperate with the municipal valuer when requesting information that will assist in valuing such properties.<\/p>\n

Information includes leases, plans for existing buildings, financial statements etc.<\/p>\n

With about 700 000 properties in Ekurhuleni that must be included on the valuation roll, it is impossible to gain access to all properties within a year.<\/p>\n

However, because it is a mass valuation, the metro also uses tools such as pictometry, GIS, aerial photos and views of some areas to the determine value of those properties.<\/p>\n
