Provisional 2012 Land Valuation Rolls will be reviewed
The Minister also requested all role players to cooperate to address land reform in Namibia so that the program for land reform can be concluded at a certain stage.
At a press conference of the Ministry of Lands and Resettlement on January 25, 2013 the Minister of Lands, Mr Alpheus !Naruseb said that the provisional Land Valuation Rolls which were officially withdrawn, will be reviewed for submission later this year. It can be expected that they will be available around April where-after a date will be announced for a Valuation Court to submit objections.
The Minister said that he appreciates the cooperation of organised agriculture and the manner in which some problems with the provisional 2012 Land Valuation Rolls were addressed. The Land Valuation Rolls were mainly withdrawn due to legal aspects which change from constitutional objections to the interpretation of the Regulations and that the value of the infrastructure were not realistically taken into consideration in all cases.
When asked whether the production potential of land for the determination of land values for land tax purposes will be taken into consideration in future, the Valuer General, Mr Mackay Rigava said that it will be taken into consideration.
