1. Not a Valuation Service

RateCheck does not perform property valuations or provide valuation advice. We are a document preparation tool that helps you generate official municipal objection forms. Any property values displayed are sourced directly from municipal valuation portals and third-party market data providers.

2. Not Legal Advice

RateCheck provides form completion assistance only. Nothing on this website or in the documents we generate constitutes legal advice. For legal advice regarding your property valuation or objection, consult a qualified attorney or professional property valuator.

3. Data Accuracy

Property data is sourced from official municipal valuation portals and third-party market data sources. While we strive for accuracy, we cannot guarantee the completeness or correctness of data provided by these external sources. You should verify all information in your generated documents before submission.

4. Objection Outcomes

We do not guarantee any particular outcome from submitting an objection. The municipality may reduce, maintain, or increase your property valuation following an objection. The risk of an increased valuation is a known possibility under the Municipal Property Rates Act (MPRA) and is not the responsibility of RateCheck.

5. Deadlines

You are responsible for submitting your objection to the relevant municipality before the applicable deadline. Deadline information displayed on RateCheck is provided for convenience only and may not reflect last-minute changes by the municipality. RateCheck is not liable for missed deadlines.

6. Third-Party Services

Payment processing is handled by PayFast (Pty) Ltd. PayFast's own terms and privacy policy apply to all payment transactions. RateCheck is not responsible for any issues arising from PayFast's services.
