RE: CLOSING OF MUNICIPAL SERVICES and ACCOUNTS OF SELLERS

Herewith a brief synopsis of the process to be adopted by Sellers in order to close their COJ accounts and request refunds of overpayments towards rates clearance.

Regardless of whether the property is a sectional title unit or full title ownership, you will be required to close your municipal account when you are no longer the registered owner.

This process will not occur automatically, and certain documents will be required from the Sellers in order to close their account s and request a refund.
