Services

Every application the City of Johannesburg processes.

From a single building line relaxation to a full township, here's what each one involves in Joburg.

Rezoning

Change your property's zoning under the Johannesburg Land Use Scheme so a new use becomes lawful.

Turn farm portions or agricultural holdings into a proclaimed township with erven, streets and services.

Split one erf or holding into two or more portions with their own title.

Join two or more adjacent erven into one property for a single development.

Remove or amend title deed conditions that block your plans.

Get the City's consent for a use your zoning allows only with permission.

Approvals the scheme reserves for City permission — telecom masts, relaxations and special conditions.

Build closer to the boundary than the scheme allows.

Add a cottage, granny flat or rental unit lawfully.

Respond to a City contravention notice — or report an unlawful use.

Confirm what your property is zoned for under the Johannesburg scheme.

The land-use clearance needed before transfer in Johannesburg.

Release an agricultural holding from the holdings register so it can be developed.

Apply to restrict access to public roads for neighbourhood security.
