APPEAL PROCESS:

Property owners are entitled to appeal against the objection decision if they believe they have good grounds on which to base their appeal. An independent appeal board will hear the appeal.

Information on how to lodge an appeal will be included in the objection decision notice when it is posted and emailed to objectors.

The period for submitting an appeal opens on the day that the objection decision notice is e-mailed to you. They will then have 30 working days to submit an appeal.  Home-owners can also request the reasons for the objection decision within 30 days from the date of the objection decision notice. When the reasons are received from the valuer, they still have 21 days to lodge an appeal.

All appeals lodged will be forwarded to the chairperson of the Appeal board within 14 days after the end of the appeal period. The chairperson of the Appeal Board will convene a meeting of the appeal board within 60 days after receipt of the appeals.  All appellants will be informed via email of the date, time and place of the Appeal Board meeting.

Appeal forms are available on the municipal website www.overstrand.gov.za (click on documents, click on forms), at the municipal offices or can be requested at enquiries@overstrand.gov.za

All completed appeal forms can be emailed to enquiries@overstrand.gov.za or be handed in at the municipal offices for the attention of the municipal manager.
