COIDA Assessment & NHBRC Fees -- Where To Check

Two figures every builder asks for -- the COIDA construction assessment tariff and the NHBRC enrolment fee -- depend on rates we will not print from an unverified source. Here is how the maths works and where to get the live number.

COIDA assessment -- the formula, not a tariff

How it is worked out	Total annual remuneration divided by 100, multiplied by your industry tariff
Why no tariff here	The construction tariff is set per subclass and reviewed yearly by the Compensation Commissioner -- the current rate must come from the official Gazette tariff notice or the ROE portal
Where to get it	roe.labour.gov.za (log in to the Return of Earnings portal) or the Compensation Fund tariff notice in the Government Gazette

NHBRC enrolment -- a percentage of selling price

How it is worked out	A percentage of the housing unit's selling price, on a sliding scale with a capped maximum
Why no bands here	The exact current percentage bands and the fee cap are not reliably published online
Where to get it	Use the enrolment calculator at nhbrc.org.za, or request the current fee schedule from the NHBRC

Dates to know

COIDA Return of Earnings window: 1 April to 30 June
COIDA Amendment Act changes commenced in early 2026 -- new 10% penalties and a longer prescription period

We do not print the COIDA construction tariff or the NHBRC enrolment percentages here because we could not pin them to a primary source. Get the live figures from roe.labour.gov.za and nhbrc.org.za before you budget.
