The City of Johannesburg’s general valuation roll closes soon

The City of Johannesburg advised residents and interested parties that the closing date for lodging objections against any entry in the general valuation roll (GVR) is on May 5.

The city warns that there won’t be any extensions beyond the closing date.

Kgamanyane Maphologela, the director of customer communications for the city’s Group Finance Department, said there is a steady increase of property owners who are lodging objections.

“We plead with our residents to not wait for the final day before they lodge objections. There is still enough time left until the closing date, so the residents should be utilising this time to submit an objection.

“It is advisable for residents to object early so that they can get references to their objections. This will assist residents to be able to track the progress of their objections, in time and without rushing,” said Maphologela.

The city officially opened the GVR 2023 inspection and objection period from February 15 to March 31.

The city advised those residents who wish to bring their bulk objections not to come to the customer service centres but rather approach the valuation office where they will be allowed to wait for all the bulk submissions to be captured, and be provided with reference numbers before leaving the offices of the city.

Clients are encouraged to make appointments so that the bulk can be captured. The bulk objections can be processed at Valuation Administration, 1st Floor, Jorissen Place, 66 Jorissen Street, Braamfontein.

For residents who wish to lodge individual objections, they can do so conveniently by registering online GVR2023:
