Grounds for Objection

The objection must meet certain criteria, or requirements, known as the Grounds for Objection. Before making an objection please make sure it relates to one or more of the following:

That the:

a) land value, capital value or assessed annual value assigned to any land is too high or too low;

b) interests of the several persons having an interest in any land have not been correctly apportioned;
c) apportionment of any valuation is not correct;
d) lands which should be included in the one valuation have been valued separately;
e) lands which should be valued separately have been included in the one valuation;
f) person named in any Notice of Valuation is not an owner of the land to which the notice relates; and/or
g) area, dimensions or particulars of any land are not correctly described.

No other basis for an objection can be accepted, for example an owner of land cannot object about their land tax or local council rates. These are matters that should be discussed with the relevant authority.

All queries that do not relate to the above may be made as a general enquiry on-line.
