VALUATION ROLE/ SUPPLEMENTARY VALUATION

Main Valuation Roll of 2007
The last general revaluation exercise was carried out in 1995 where 24,570 properties were captured with the total rateable value of 1,100,000,000,000. In an effort to broaden the Council `s revenue base, the Department embarked on a revaluation exercise in 2007 for all rateable properties within the city of Lusaka where 45,312 properties were captured with the total rateable value of K18,443,221,906,341. Therefore, the number of properties from 1995 Valuation Roll represents 79.6% increase over the period of 15 years with an increase of more than 1400% in the total rateable Value. In light of this project, provision of service delivery is expected to increase after the project completed in 2010.
