# The City of Johannesburg is offering a ten-percent rebate to property owners who pay their municipal rates in advance from next month as part of its 2026/2027 budget. Qualifying residents who settle their annual rates upfront before the start of the financial year will benefit from the discount, alongside a 3.6-percent rates increase. The city has also expanded rebates for qualifying public schools, and all benefits depend on accounts remaining in good standing.
