Contents:   Apply for rates rebates | 100% rebate for pensioners
  

JOBURG pensioners who are sectional title property owners and who qualify for a rates rebate have until 30 September to apply.

 

Application forms for rates rebate:

As these rebates are not awarded automatically, residents need to apply for them; only some residents are eligible for rebates:

  • Pensioners who own and personally occupy the property; those dependent on a National Security Grant; those not on a National Security Grant but whose gross monthly income is below R5 000; and those who are not on a National Security Grant, but whose gross monthly income is higher than R5 000 but less than R9 000;
  • Declared heritage sites;
  • Owners of vacant land where planning permission to develop the property is not given as a result of the council being unable to provide municipal services (including Eskom);
  • Private colleges which own land and are registered by the national Department of Education as education facilities. Schools and colleges that are registered as businesses do not qualify for a rebate;
  • Public benefit organisations, including those that offer welfare and humanitarian services, health care services and educational and development services;
  • Farming and agricultural land owners; and
  • Private sports clubs, where a sports club is either unable to pay the property rates; where the membership of the club is open to previously disadvantaged persons; where the land owned by the club is used primarily for sporting activities; or the club is involved in sports development programmes for previously disadvantaged communities.
