Excision of agricultural holdings for Hercules properties
Development or registration needs may require a change in the holding’s legal status.
Being in Hercules does not by itself decide whether excision of agricultural holdings is needed or likely to succeed. The erf's zoning, title conditions, servitudes, previous approvals and the applicable City of Tshwane policies decide that, and they can differ between neighbouring stands.

Questions we'd ask about your Hercules property
- Have neighbouring properties in Hercules or Hermanstad had similar applications approved or refused?
- What is the current zoning of the Hercules erf, and does it carry an annexure?
- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed excision of agricultural holdings?
- Are there servitudes, building lines or earlier approvals on the property that affect the plan?
Checks before appointment
Establish the registered holding, governing restrictions and proposed use. Excision and new land-use rights are different issues.
