Second dwellings & home-use guidance for Centurion properties
An owner wants a second dwelling, home office, guest accommodation or educational activity.
Two properties in Centurion can need quite different approaches to second dwellings & home-use guidance. What counts is the individual erf: its zoning and any annexure, the title deed conditions, registered servitudes, earlier approvals and the City of Tshwane policy that applies to its location.
Where Centurion is
From our register: Centurion is listed in our Surrounding Tshwane towns group; nearby are Cullinan, Hammanskraal, Rayton and Bronkhorstspruit. Its exact position and boundary have not been confirmed yet. We group it with 4 other areas under Surrounding Tshwane towns; that grouping is ours, not a municipal region.
Questions we'd ask about your Centurion property
- Are there servitudes, building lines or earlier approvals on the property that affect the plan?
- Is the property part of a sectional title scheme, estate or home owners' association whose consent may be needed?
- Do the City of Tshwane spatial frameworks say anything specific about this part of Surrounding Tshwane towns?
- Have neighbouring properties in Centurion or Cullinan had similar applications approved or refused?
Checks before appointment
Check the actual scheme definition, title, prior approvals, parking, coverage, access and estate rules. Do not assume every second dwelling requires consent or rezoning.
What the planner does
Identify the lawful starting point and any linked application; coordinate with the building designer once rights are confirmed. Building-plan approval and services remain separate.
Information to gather
You don't need everything up front — "Centurion" and a sentence about the plan is enough to start. A full second dwellings & home-use guidance submission typically needs:

Cost categories
No fixed rand amount or approval date is promised; scope and municipal processing vary.
