General Valuation Roll 2022

The General Valuation Roll (GVR) is a document containing the municipal valuations of all the registered properties within the boundaries of the City of Cape Town and is used to calculate the rates that property owners are required to pay. You are able to object to your property valuation during the objection period.

Supplementary Valuation Roll (SVR)

The City must certify and publish at least one SVR per year. The SVR contains details of properties that were not included in the last GV Roll, as well as any properties that have been changed. According to the amended Local Government Municipal Property Rates Act(Act 6 of 2004) , a property is determined to have changed, if it has: been identified as having been previously incorrectly valued; been incorrectly recorded in the last GVR because of a clerical or typing error; been omitted from the valuation roll; been recently added to the municipality; been subdivided or consolidated; changed in category had a building plan signed off; had a significant increase or decrease in market value since the last GVR; If your property is included in an SVR, the City will post two notices to you.

Notice 1 will be posted immediately after the SV valuation is completed, and will inform you of your right to request a review. You will need to email valuationsobjection@capetown.gov.za to obtain the official review form and return the completed form to the same address.
Notice 2 will be posted to you after the SV Roll is certified. This notice will inform you of your right to object, and outline the process for submitting an objection. You can obtain an official form by emailing valuationsobjection@capetown.gov.za and must return the completed form to the same address.
