Section 15 of Municipal Property Rates Act 6 of 2004 is an existing policy tool available to government. Section 15 allows municipalities to exempt owners of properties from the payment of a rate levied on their property when affected by a disaster (within the meaning of the Disaster Management Act, 2002 (Act 57 of 2002)), or any other serious adverse social or economic conditions. Section 15 shows that Parliament, as the authors of this Act, had foreseen a situation where property rates exemption would be an apt measure to alleviate the financial strain faced by rate payers during a disaster. Section 15 is an existing and easily implementable policy solution that will provide immediate relief to citizens.
