PENSIONER REBATES

Johannesburg's Property Rates Policy provides a varying degree of rebates for many pensioners who have reached the age of 60 or older.

Who qualifies for a pensioners' rebate:

  • Pensioners must own the property and personally occupy the property.
  • Pensioners dependent on a National Security Grant qualify for a 100 % rebate on successful application.
  • Pensioners who are not on National Security Grant, but whose gross monthly income falls below R5600 qualify for a 100% rebate on successful application.
  • Pensioners who are not on National Security Grant, but whose gross monthly income is higher than R5600 but less than R10300 qualify for a 50% rebate on successful application.

To qualify for a pensioners' rebate, you must apply to the City and must comply with the following criteria:

  • You must be 60 years or older;
  • Your property value must not exceed R1,5 million
  • You must personally occupy the property.

How to register for your pensioners' rebate

Step 1 Applicants must complete a Pensioners' Rebate Form available from one the Customer Service Centres or from the City's website www.joburg.org.za

Step 2 Submit your forms along with the following evidence to the Customer Service Centres

Certified copy of your ID
  • Certified copy of your pension card
  • Copy of your Municipal Statement

How to work out your rates​​
  • Property Value (available on www.joburg.org.za) - R150 000 = Rateable Value
  • Rateable Value x Tariff = Annual Rates
  • Annual Rates ÷ 12 = Monthly rates payable
  • Example of residential property worth R1 million​
    • R1 000 000 - R150 000 = R850 000
    • R850 000 x 0.004928 = R4 188.80 per annum
    • R4 188.80 ÷ 12 = R349.07 per month
 
In the case of a pensioner whose gross monthly income is more than R5 300 but less that R9 300, the monthly rates will reduce as follows;
  • ​​R349.07 -50% is R349.07 - R174.53
  • The monthly rates will then reduce to R174.54 for a residential property.
 
If the pensioner is the owner of a Sectional Title unit, the monthly rates will be calculated as follows:
  • ​R349.07 - 20% is R349.07 - R69.81

 The Sectional Title rates will then be R279.26. Now we deduct the Pensioner rebate of 50%;
  • Then we have R279.26 - 50%
  • ​R279.26 -50% is R279.26 - R139.63.
The monthly pensioner rates in our example will then reduce to R139.63.
Who is billed for rates?
  • The owner of the freehold property and the owner of one or more units owned in terms of the Sectional Titles Act.
  • Pensioners who live in Sectional Title properties
  • Pensioners who own Sectional Title, benefit from the rebates that Council offers to pensioners. This rebate is in addition to the 20% rebate that is offered to Sectional Title Unit owners.
  • The pensioner rebate is valid for two years only. A fresh application is required at the expiry of the two year period.
