The GV2025 Roll is now open

The rate-in-the-rand formula that we use to calculate property rates is set to be reduced by 10,2% after healthy property value growth was reported in the General Valuation for 2025. The proposed reduction is subject to draft budget finalisation, and aims to offset property rates increases from the higher property valuations.

In addition, the rates-free benefit has been extended to include the first R500 000 of property value (up from R450 000) and this benefit applies to all properties up to R8 million (up from R7 million). These planned measures will ensure that 60% of our residential properties will experience either a rates decrease, or no change in rates, even though the property value has risen.

Please note: The final rate-in-the-rand will only be determined in May 2026 when the Annual Budget, tariffs and rates are approved by Council after completion of a public participation process.

To view the GV Roll or dispute your property valuation, you can do so via the following:

• Online: The General Valuation Roll (GV2025) is available for public inspection until 30 April 2026.
• By email: Download the objection form for the selected property as it appears on the GV2025 Roll on the City’s website and send the completed form to valuationsobjection@capetown.gov.za by 30 April 2026.
• In person: Visit any of our 20 venues across the metro until 31 March 2026.

Please note: Objections must be motivated and supported with market-related information at the valuation date of 1 July 2025. No late objections will be considered.

"HAVE YOUR SAY"
Invitation to Comment on the draft Mobile Business Trading Areas policy for mobile businesses

The policy will affect about 100 parks throughout the city, including some parks nearby such as KEURBOOM PARK, RONDEBOSCH PARK and RONDEBOSCH COMMON.

The City is in the process of developing a Mobile Business Policy to enable a permitting mechanism that will support interest from mobile businesses. 

Currently, we deal with enquiries by mobile business operators - specifically food truck operators - on an ad-hoc basis. This ad-hoc approval process is inconsistent and unclear in the way that mobile business operators are able to access and activate their markets.
