JB Marks Announces Early Closure of Revenue Offices Ahead of New Financial Year

The JB Marks Local Municipality has officially announced the temporary early closure of all its municipal revenue offices and payment points on Tuesday, 30 June 2026. According to an official notice issued by the municipality, the doors will close at 12:00 PM (midday) to allow administration officials to prepare for the official commencement of the 2026/2027 financial year.

This standard administrative wrap-up is a critical step for local governments transitioning between financial periods, ensuring that all books are balanced and systems are updated for the upcoming fiscal cycle.

Affected Facilities and Pay Points

The closure of the licensing and traffic pay points means that any outstanding traffic fines, vehicle licensing renewals, or related financial transactions must be completed before the midday deadline, or delayed until regular operations resume.
