Can I still object to the Ray Nkonyeni GV2023 roll?

The general objection period (13 February to 28 April 2023 (15:00)) has closed. Supplementary rolls follow each year; the Municipality publishes each one and its notice with the roll search. An error of fact on your entry, such as the wrong category or extent, can usually still be raised with the valuations office.

Can I see the Ray Nkonyeni GV2023 roll online?

Yes, on the City's own valuation portal. Or type the address into ErfCheck above: the record shows the erf number, township and last registered sale for free, and the R99 report adds the GV2023 value beside recent sales on the street.

Does objecting stop me paying rates?

No. Rates stay payable on the roll value while the objection is decided. If the value is reduced, the City adjusts the account.

When do the new values apply?

From 1 July 2023. Rates bills from then on use the GV2023 value.

Is GV2023 the 2023/24 valuation roll?

Yes. Its values are as at the date of valuation, and rates bills use them from 1 July 2023 until the next general roll. Supplementary rolls revalue individual properties in between.

What value is on the roll?

The market value of the property at the roll's date of valuation, set by the municipal valuer by mass appraisal. It is not today's market value and not a bank valuation.

Where do I find my erf number?

On your rates account, your title deed or the SG diagram, or type the street address into ErfCheck. See how to find an erf number.

Ray Nkonyeni (Port Shepstone, Margate) valuation roll GV2023 (2023/24 rates)

The Ray Nkonyeni values every property in Port Shepstone, Margate, Uvongo, Shelly Beach, Ramsgate, Southbroom, Hibberdene and Port Edward on its general valuation roll, and your rates are worked out from that value. Here is what the current roll says, how to look a property up, and how an objection works.

Look up a property in Ray Nkonyeni (Port Shepstone, Margate)

Free: erf number, township, last registered sale and imagery. No owner names.

ErfCheck searches the Municipality's own GV2023 roll (1 July 2023 to 30 June 2028) live, by erf and township, and sectional title units by scheme and unit. You can also type an erf number with its township (for example "Erf 1234, Rondebosch") to get the street address back.

Reading a property's entry on the roll

Each property on the GV2023 roll is one line, whether you find it on the council's portal, on the published roll or on your valuation notice:

Property description: the erf (or farm portion, or sectional unit) and its township, as registered. This is how the council identifies the property, not the street address; what an erf number is.
Street address, where the council records one.
Category: residential, business, agricultural, vacant land and so on. The category sets which rate in the rand applies, so a wrong category costs money even when the value is right.
Extent: the registered land area (for a sectional unit, the section's floor area).
Market value: the figure your rates are worked out from.

If the description, category or extent is wrong, that is an error of fact to raise with the valuations office, separate from disagreeing with the value.

How to object to your valuation

Check the window. The general-roll window (13 February to 28 April 2023 (15:00)) has closed. Supplementary rolls follow each year; the Municipality publishes each one and its notice with the roll search.
Get the form. Objections go in on the City's own form, one property per objection. Online: the City's valuation portal. Notices and instructions: Ray Nkonyeni valuations page.
Give evidence, not a feeling. An objection succeeds on market evidence as at the date of valuation: registered sales of similar properties on your street, in your scheme or suburb close to that date, and your own purchase price if it was recent. Defects the valuer could not see (structural damage, a smaller extent than recorded) count too.
Keep paying rates on the roll value while the City decides. If you disagree with the decision you can appeal to the valuation appeal board; the City's decision letter explains how.

The R99 ErfCheck report puts that evidence on one page: the roll value, every recent registered sale on your street or in your scheme, your own transfer, and a plain verdict on whether the gap is worth contesting.

How the value turns into rates

Annual rates are the roll value, less any residential exclusion in the City's rates policy, multiplied by the rate in the rand the council sets in each year's budget (effective 1 July). A lower roll value lowers the bill in proportion. See the rates calculator.
