The City of Cape Town has made significant progress in processing the 35 000 objections to the 2006 General Valuation Roll. 9500 objections have been resolved.
“The process whereby objections are resolved is rather lengthy because the integrity of the outcome is paramount, “says Valuation Director, Chris Gavor.
They have contracted five external companies to assist the municipality in dealing with objections.
“The process entails each of the objectors being visited by a municipal-appointed valuer, “says Gavor.
After the property has been inspected and the valuer has arrived at the decision, the findings are presented to the Municipal Valuer for inspection and sign off. It is then sent to the Revenue Department for updating.
“We appeal to property owners to keep appointment times as scheduled, “says Gavor.
Objectors can contact the City’s call centre on 086 010 3089 for more details or visit its website at www.capetown.gov.za
