WHY DO I NEED A CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE

The purpose of a Rates Clearance Application is to facilitate the registration process of a property.

An attorney on behalf of his clients would apply for the Rates Clearance Certificate. Before a Rates Clearance Certificate can be issued a payment schedule must be generated and issued to the attorney and the amount due on the payment schedule must be paid in full by the attorney, by means of an attorneys trust cheque or cash. The amount due on the payment schedule includes a 120 day forward projection for all the basic municipal services on a property i.e. property rates, refuse, sanitation, water and electricity.
