If you have questions or concerns about your valuation, or want to know how to submit an objection you can make an online enquiry, phone 03 6165 4444 or email ovg@nre.tas.gov.au.
Grounds for Objection
An objection must meet certain criteria , or requirements, known as the Grounds for Objection. Before making an objection ensure it relates to one or more of the following 7 criteria
That the
land value, capital value or assessed annual value assigned to any land is too high or too low
interests of the several persons having an interest in any land have not been correctly apportioned
apportionment of any valuation is not correct
lands which should be included in the one valuation have been valued separately
lands which should be valued separately have been included in the one valuation
person named in any Notice of Valuation is not an owner of the land to which the notice relates, and/or
area, dimensions or particulars of any land are not correctly described.
No other basis for an objection can be accepted, for example an owner cannot object about their land tax or local council rates. These are matters that should be discussed with the relevant authority.
Any query that does not relate to the above can be made as a general enquiry.
How to make an objection
An owner can object to a statutory valuation.
Following these steps within the objection process will not only assist your objection being accepted, it also helps the Office of the Valuer-General assess and (if valid) amend your valuation more quickly.
Understand the grounds for objecting and clearly state at least 1 of the 7 grounds for your objection
Provide as much supporting evidence as possible relating to the specific grounds you have chosen such as comparable sales/lease evidence, details or other parties with a property interest etc.
