Overstrand Municipality offers rates relief to Guesthouses and B&Bs

Registered bed and breakfast establishments and guest houses with three to five lettable rooms can apply for the following rebates on property tax based on the difference between business and residential tariffs:

• 3 x lettable rooms: 75%

• 4 x lettable rooms: 50%

• 5 x lettable rooms: 25%

Please note that one and two rooms are no longer rated as ‘Business’ and are therefore no longer eligible for discounts.

The application period starts after the first levy of the new financial year on 30 July 2023. All applications must be received by the Municipality no later than 30 September 2023.

No applications will be accepted thereafter.

Guesthouses and B&Bs' rebate application forms are available on our website at www.overstrand.gov.za, click on Documents, click on Forms.

Please send your application to enquiries@overstrand.gov.za or hand in at the nearest Overstrand Municipal Office.

Any queries with regard to the above, can be directed to Overstrand’s Rates and Data Control Office at Tel no (028) 313 8000 or via email to enquiries@overstrand.gov.za.
