Your property’s municipal valuation determines the rates and taxes you pay.
An incorrect valuation could mean paying more than necessary. We help you verify and challenge inaccurate valuations to ensure fair municipal rates.
The General Valuation Roll is a legal document used by municipalities in South Africa, including the City of Tshwane, to assess the market value of all registered properties within its jurisdiction. These valuations determine the property rates (taxes) that residential property owners must pay.
If your property is overvalued, you could be overpaying on municipal rates. If undervalued, you may miss opportunities when selling or refinancing. Property owners have the right to object, but the process requires expertise to ensure a successful objection.
The City of Tshwane’s General Valuation Roll 2025 is now open for review, but time is running out to object to incorrect valuations. If you believe your property has been overvalued, you could be paying excessive rates and taxes—but you must act before the deadline!
Don’t wait until it’s too late! Late objections will not be accepted – ensure your submission is in on time!

The General Municipal Valuation Roll constitutes the official register recording assessed values of all properties within our municipal boundaries. This valuation roll is statutorily linked to the valuation date of 1 July 2024.
In accordance with legislative requirements, municipalities must update their valuation rolls every five years. Please note that the values currently reflected on your Tshwane municipal account are based on the previous valuation roll (1 July 2019) and therefore cannot serve as a basis for comparison.
Access the relevant roll via the links provided at the top of the page and search for your property’s valuation by the erf number or address.
Residential properties are valued using the comparable sales method, which analyses recent sales of similar properties in the same area to determine a fair market value. The valuation reflects the property’s condition and market trends as of the predetermined valuation date (e.g., 1 July 2019 for the 2020-2024 GVR).
Property values are determined as at the date of valuation to reflect market conditions prevailing at that specific time. Professional valuers utilise standard valuation methodology, including analysis of comparable property sales, to determine market-related values.
For purposes of the valuation roll, market value represents the estimated amount for which a property should exchange between a willing buyer and willing seller in an arm’s length transaction, where both parties have acted knowledgeably, prudently, and without compulsion.
Owners can object if they believe the valuation or categorisation is incorrect (e.g., if the market value is too high or the property is wrongly listed as non-residential). Objections must be lodged within a specified period using prescribed forms available on the municipality’s website or at municipal offices.
