In an effort to help Mogale City senior citizens with rates and indigent relief, Mogale City Local Municipality invites qualifying pensioners as well as the physically and mentally disabled to apply to get 40% rebate on property rates on or before 30 June 2017.
A person who is physically and mentally disabled must prove that he/she receives a social pension and must be certified by a health practitioner as being mentally or physically disabled.
To qualify for pensioners’ rebate, a pensioner must:
- Be 60 years or older
- Be the owner of the property where the rates are charged
- Live on the property
- The property must be categorised as residential
- The total household income of the applicant if any, must not exceed R96 000 per annum
- Persons and households identified or registered as indigents do not qualify for rebate on property rates.
- Proof of income and recent tax statement or recent bank statement will be required.
- To apply, applicants can obtain pensioners’ rebate application forms from the nearest Mogale City Local Municipality Revenue Office at the enquiries desk.
