The City of Cape Town has released its 2025 General Valuation Roll, and property owners are encouraged to review their updated municipal valuations.
This valuation will directly impact the rates you’ll pay from 1 July 2026, based on your property’s market value as at 1 July 2025. If your property is overvalued and no objection is submitted, you could end up paying higher rates until 2029.
Important Deadline:
Property owners have until 30 April 2026 to submit any objections. Late submissions will unfortunately not be accepted, so it’s important to act within this timeframe.
How to Check Your Valuation:
You can easily access your property details online via the City’s valuation roll. Simply search using your erf number, address, or sectional title details.
Once located, you can:
• View your valuation
• Estimate your monthly rates
• Download and submit an objection form if needed
Should You Object?
Before lodging an objection, it’s important to:
• Compare your valuation with recent sales in your area
• Consider your property’s condition and unique features
• Ensure you have supporting evidence
Remember, the City may adjust values up or down based on the information provided.
