Objections to the roll may be made from March 8 to May 5.
The General Valuation Roll is a legal document that consists of property information of all rateable properties within the boundaries of the EMM.
It is produced according to the Municipal Property Rates Act 6 of 2004 (MPRA) once every four years.
“The purpose of this valuation is to determine a fair value of all properties for rates assessment purposes,” said Gadebe.
“In some instances, the rates may go up, while in others the rates may come down.
“It must also be remembered that many properties that have not been valued in the past will all now be valued and incorporated into the valuation roll.”
According to Gadebe, the rates calculated for all properties will be determined from time to time by the rating policy; how properties will be categorised will also be decided.
Gadebe states that the EMM has a valuation division that handles all the valuation matters including the General Valuation Roll and the Supplementary Valuation Roll.
However, due to incapacity of staff, the EMM is currently outsourcing these services.
The General Valuation and Supplementary Valuation rolls are conducted by external valuators that are monitored by EMM valuators.
