General and supplementary valuations
The General Valuation Roll (GVR) is a document containing the municipal valuations of all the registered properties within the boundaries of the City of Cape Town and is used to calculate the rates that property owners are required to pay. You are able to object to your property valuation during the objection period.
About general valuations
The GVR gives the market value of a property on a certain date. It applies to all properties in Cape Town and is used to calculate the monthly rates that property owners are required to pay for general services such as street lighting, parks, libraries and fire services.
The City is legally required to produce a GVR at least once every four years. Since GV2006, we produce ours every three years to minimise the impact of changes in property values between valuation cycles.
