The Star Wed: CONDOMINIUMS and highrise unit owners in Petaling Jaya will see a reduction in assessment rates next year.
Mayor Datuk Mohamad Roslan Sakiman announced that in the draft Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) 2009 budget, assessment rates for flats, apartments and condominiums would be reduced from 8% to 6% (except those in Sri Damansara, Mayang Mas and Megah Mas, which remains at 5%).
Rates for service apartments would be reduced from 8.8% to 6.6%. Assessment rates for low-cost flats will remain at 5% while assessment for other properties will not be increased.
About 60 representatives from residents associations (RA) and Rukun Tetangga (RT) attended a briefing on the 2009 budget at the MBPJ headquarters in Jalan Yong Shook Lin.
The income deficit would be offset by an estimated RM6.48mil from rental of billboard sites.
Now this is some good news amidst all the uncertainty in the country. The previous pro-BN council couldn't care less if highrise dwellers paid high assessment and after numerous requests from RAs gave us a miserly 5% reduction on annual sum payable. Long live Pakatan Rakyat!
