Tshwane receives 4k disputes to recently published property evaluation roll

JOHANNESBURG - The City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality has received about 4,000 disputes to its recently published property evaluation roll.

The roll is renewed every four to five years and contains the market information of all rateable properties, used to determine the property tax rate they will be charged.

The multiparty coalition government in Tshwane held a media briefing in Pretoria on Wednesday to update on the latest regarding the roll.

A majority of the disputes around the property valuation roll have been residents complaining their houses have been over valued by the Tshwane municipality.

This means they will have to fork out more for rates.

However, the draft budget currently before the council is suggesting a 4% decrease in property rates.

Tshwane Mayor Nasiphi Moya said, “It's good that property values have gone up and secondly, we have tried to cushion that increase by reducing property rates.”

Residents have until 2 May 2025 to register their disputes with the capital city.
