# The City of Johannesburg urges homeowners who are charged business property rates to check if they qualify for the residential tariff. The city says some homes are charged business rates because of how the property is classified, even though they are used as homes. Property owners should review their municipal accounts and submit the required application form with supporting documents. The city says getting residential rates does not change the property’s zoning or allow land use that is not permitted.
