The new Valuation Roll for the period 01 July 2023 to 30 June 2028 is open for public input from 13 February 2023 to 14 April 2023.

Each owner should have received a valuation letter informing the owner/s of the new property value. Should any owner not have received a letter, kindly contact the property rates department at (028) 514 8500 or by email at dbeukes@swellendam.gov.za or visit the municipality website to view the valuation roll on www.swellendam.gov.za

Property Owners are invited to inspect the valuation of their property and may object to the valuation in terms of section 49 (1)(a)(ii) of the act if not in agreement.

The municipality is flooded with enquiries on the property rates to be paid as a result of the increased market value. Kindly be informed that there are two different processes:

• The valuation process which determines the market value of the property and;
• The budgetary process which determines the cent in the Rand to be levied on the new market value per property category for the 2023/2024 financial year;

If a property owner has a legitimate reason as indicated above for an objection, such objection must be submitted by 14 April 2023 to the property rates department on the prescribed objection form.
