| Summary: | The Local Authority Act 171 of 1976 intended fairness by incorporating provisions for seeking redress by
property owners who are not satisfied with rates imposed on them based on the assessed value of their properties.
This redress is sought by means of filing objections to the local authority concerned, it is then studied and a fair
hearing given to the appellant before a decision is taken. The study was conducted, using a semi structuredinterview
guide by interviewing the valuation officers about the various reasons for objections, Documents were
sought to study past reasons filed by appellants and later triangulated with observation during hearing sessions
of the local authorities to a point of saturation. It was found that greater proportion of objections were based on
non satisfactory service delivery by the local authorities with only a few on in ability to pay. |
