Incorrect property details on some property valuation letters: https://bit.ly/2nmUED5
The metro wished to alert affected property owners that it is aware of incorrect information contained in some Section 49 letters issued in terms of the General Valuation Roll inspection process. Property owners would have received letters from the metro in February calling for the inspection of the general valuation roll and lodging of objections as per Section 49 of the Municipal Property Rates Act of 2004. The letters have the correct property owner information but the property description box and its contents are incorrect.
According to Emma Smith, “It is a crying shame that they get paid a salary”.
The GCN also received a number of calls from confused and disgruntled residents who wanted to know when the mistake would be rectified.
The metro commented that it is preparing new letters with the correct property description and values and said these would all be mailed before the end of March.
