The City of Johannesburg Valuation Appeal Board will resume hearings in February 2015. To date we have dealt with approximately 20% of our Appeals. This is a competent board by Raymond Mashazi and assisted by Maryke Serfontein and others. We have been alerted to the fact that City of Johannesburg notices for Supplementary Valuation Roll 1 ‘revived outcomes’ will be sent out in February 2015. The eThekwini (Durban) Supplementary Valuation Roll 9 is currently open for Inspection/ Objection.
