Agricultural properties will be levied at the “FARMS” tariff, subject to the owner/farmer providing the Municipality with proof that the property is used for bona fide farming purposes.

Bona fide farming means that agricultural land is used primarily for agricultural purposes.

Overstrand Municipality requires a declaration from the owner/farmer as evidence of every farm/portion. Each portion should be on a separate application.

Application forms are available on our website, www.overstrand.gov.za go to Documents, click on Forms or click here: https://www.overstrand.gov.za/…/rebate-application…

The completed application form can be sent to enquiries@overstrand.gov.za or hand it in to your nearest Overstrand Municipal offices.

All applications must be received at the Municipality by 20 July 2023; however, the approved Rates Policy allows for late applications until 30 September.

Feel free to contact us if you have any problems completing the application form.

Any queries regarding the above can be directed to Overstrand’s Rates and Data Control Office at Tel: 028 313 8000 or via email to enquiries@overstrand.gov.za.
