City of Johannesburg extends General Valuation Roll (GVR2023) appeal period
The General Valuation Roll (GVR2023) appeal period has been extended until November 30, providing property owners who previously objected to their property values with an extended window of opportunity for recourse.

The City of Johannesburg extended the General Valuation Roll (GVR2023) appeal period to November 30, which only applies to property owners who previously objected to the roll.
This means, all property owners who previously objected to the new values of their properties and are still not happy with the municipal valuer’s decision (MVD), will now have a longer period to appeal.
Kgamanyane Maphologela, director for communications and stakeholder engagement, said the appeal period extension demonstrates that the city acknowledges the concerns and inputs raised by stakeholders.
“Due to technical challenges experienced by the city with its network, the city’s ability to deliver the MVDs to the property owners on time to allow them to appeal was impacted. We hope that property owners who had objected and are still not happy with the outcomes can take full advantage of the extension period to appeal.
We continue to listen to our stakeholders and try to extend our services to them.
“The city has so far processed more than 38 000 objections out of a total of 42 053 objections received and sent out MVD notices,” said Maphologela.
Maphologela advises to appeal to a property, the objector or the property owner must first have objected to it during the stipulated objection period.
“An appeal to the municipal valuer’s decision will be heard by a Valuation Appeal Board (VAB) which is an independent board appointed as per the Municipal Property Rates Act 6 of 2004 as amended (MPRA).
“For property owners who wish to appeal go online to the GVR2023: https://objections.joburg.org.za/ or at 66 Jorissen Street, Jorissen Place 1st floor Eastwing,” said Maphologela.
