LAND VALUATION TO IMPACT ON RATES

The Valuer General sends ratepayers a Notice of Valuation at least once every three years. This allows ratepayers to consider their land value before rates are set. Rates are calculated based on property land values, either alone or combined with a fixed base amount.

If you think the land value or property information on your Assessment Notice is wrong, you have 60 days to lodge an objection with the Valuer General to have it reviewed.

The Valuer General introduced several customer service improvements, including system and process changes, to improve customer access to information, procedural fairness, and timelines for objections. The changes include an enhanced online objection form that is more structured and allows landholders to provide valid information at the time of lodgment. Sales information can also be selected and automatically included in the objection form from other Valuer General NSW online sources.

The valuation objection report has also been enhanced to better address the matters raised and sales provided. More information on land values and how to lodge an objection can be found at the Valuer General website. www.valuergeneral.nsw.gov.au.
