How To Appeal Your Municipal Property Valuation Report
The municipal valuation process is already well under way in South Africa, and many property owners would already have received notifications regarding the valuation assessment of their properties.
Cape Town homeowners are currently able to view their valuations online at www.capetown.gov.za/propertyvaluations.
The key to ensuring that your property is not over or under valued, resulting in an incorrect rates bills is to arm yourself with the knowledge needed to appeal your valuation.
According to Pam Golding Properties the onus is placed on you, the homeowner, to prove that your property has been incorrectly valued. And a valuation from an Estate Agent is not going to be sufficient.
What’s needed is an independent and unbiased report from a valuator, not an estate agent. We would recommend contacting the South African Institute of Valuers at www.saiv.org.za or 021 762 3313, to find one specialising in your area.
Also, you would do well to source a report of recent sales in your neighborhood, to use as a comparison. This is be obtained from your local deeds office, or you can request a report via the website: www.lightstone.co.za
Valuation Objection forms can be submitted by email to by fax to 086 588 6042 before the end of April 201
