Property Valuation

Objection to Valuation

You may object to the valuation referred to in this notice by writing served personally or by post on the Valuer-General within 60 days after the date of service of this notice.

But note:

  1. if you have previously received a notice or notices under the Local Government Act 1999 referring to the valuation and informing you of a 60-day objection period, the objection period is 60 days after service of the first such notice;
  2. you may not object to the valuation if the Valuer-General has already considered an objection by you to that valuation.

The Valuer-General may extend the 60 day objection period where it be shown there is reasonable cause to do so by a person entitled to make an objection to a valuation.

A written objection to valuation must set out the full and detailed grounds for objection, including any supporting information.

Objections can be submitted to the Office of the Valuer-General via:

Objection to Land Use or Locality

Differential general rates imposed by the Council are based on various land use categories and the locality of the property. Should you have any reason to believe that the land use category or locality applied to your assessment is incorrect, you may lodge a written objection to Council outlining the grounds on which your objection is based (including the land use category or locality that you consider should have been attributed). Objections must be submitted to Council within 60 days of receiving the first notice for the financial
year.

Rates are still due and payable by the due date even if an objection has been lodged.
