Supplementary Valuation Roll FAQ's

The municipality must regularly, but at least once a year, update its valuation roll.

Where changes do not affect value, such as a change in ownership, the roll may simply be amended.

Where changes comprise a change in value, change in use or the addition of a property to the roll, a supplementary roll must be prepared and published.
 

What sort of event will cause a property to appear in a supplementary roll?

In circumstances where a property:-

• was incorrectly omitted from the roll
• was included in the municipality after the last general valuation
• has been subdivided or consolidated
• has increased or decreased in value owing to additions, alterations and/or demolitions
• was incorrectly valued during the last general valuation
• the use being made of the property has changed

What is the purpose of the supplementary roll?

To give people the opportunity to object to the values assessed in respect of the changed or added properties.

How will I know if my property appears in a supplementary roll?

A notice will be posted to each registered property owner whose property appears in a supplementary roll, informing him of the value which has been assessed in respect of the property.

You may also view the supplementary roll at Valuation Roll Section, 13^th Floor,  75 Winder Street, Durban or at Regional Centres a list of which appears on this web site.

The public is urged to review the Supplementary Roll on publication and not rely solely on postings

The values in the supplementary roll are carried out at a later date to those in the main roll, is this not unfair if the property market has risen or dropped?

The date of valuation for the supplementary roll is 1 July, 2007. This is the same date as the main roll and all valuations are indexed to this date.
 

From what date are rates payable on the values reflected in the supplementary roll?  
Because this supplementary roll has been produced before the main roll comes into effect, its effective date in respect of the raising of rates is also the 1 July, 2008
 

I objected to the original Roll published on 13 February 2008.  Will the outcome of this Objection be published in the Supplementary Roll?

No.  The outcome of an Objection is communicated directly back to the Objector, where after he or she may exercise their right of Appeal.
