If you would like Rates Watch to check whether your Valuation is correct or not, please provide Rates Watch with your details or alternatively apply for your property to be screened via the Rates Watch website - www.rateswatch.co.za.
The Property Rates Act does allow a property owner to apply to the local authority for a valuation to be reviewed, on condition that the property is subject to the conditions as listed below and has been substantially incorrectly valued on the roll. Rates Watch would also like to inform all subscribers that even if they did not object to the'roll', but feel that their property has been incorrectly valued, Rates Watch can assist you. They will only object, if on a balance of probabilities there is a reasonable chance of the objection succeeding.
A municipality must, whenever necessary, cause a supplementary valuation to be made in respect of any rateable property-
(a) incorrectly omitted from the valuation roll;
(b) included in a municipality after the last general valuation;
(c) subdivided or consolidated after the last general valuation;
(d) of which the market value has substantially increased or decreased for any reason after the last general valuation;
(e) substantially incorrectly valued during the last general valuation;
(f) that must be revalued for any other exceptional reason;
(g) of which the category has changed.
For further assistance regarding your application please email Rates Watch or give them a call on 0119180544/0119180237.
