The City of Johannesburg reviews tariffs annually to implement an increase by a determined percentage in line with budget guidelines. These equitable and affordable increments contribute to the running of the City and ensure continuous service provision to all City customers for municipal services such as property rates, waste removal, electricity, water, and sewer.
Understanding your tariffs helps customers know what they are paying for and how it is calculated.
