Town planning in Cape Town

The City of Cape Town administers land use across the metro, from the Atlantic Seaboard to the northern and southern suburbs.

Responsible municipality

City of Cape Town Metropolitan Municipality (metropolitan municipality).

How applications work here

  • Applications are submitted to the City of Cape Town, which decides them under its own municipal planning by-law and land-use scheme.
  • Application forms, fees and submission requirements are set by the municipality and change from time to time; we confirm them for each matter.
  • Title deed conditions are reviewed separately from zoning, as they can restrict a use even where zoning allows it.
