Sectional title owners information

Implementation of Local Government Property Rates Act 6 of 2004

The City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality (the Council) implemented the Municipal Property Rates Act from 1 July 2008. The Act requires the Council to invoice individual owners of Sectional Title properties for the rates portion of the municipal account.

In the past, municipal rates accounts have been posted to the Body Corporate; therefore Council does not have postal addresses for individual owners within Sectional Title Schemes. The City of Johannesburg require this information in order to be able to post individual owners their rates accounts from 1 July 2008. (The service portion of the account will continue to be sent to Body Corporates or the nominated managing agents).

It would be appreciated if you could arrange the distribution of the form (in PDF format) to all individual owners of Sectional Title property within your scheme and please remember that these copies must be completed by pen.
