Councils do not determine the land value of your property.  Land is valued by the Department of Lands. These re-valuations are undertaken every four years and you should receive a valuation notice after it is completed.

If you do not agree with the land value, you have 60 days to object to the Department of Lands.  You can also appeal to the Land and Environment Court.  To contact the Department of Lands please call 1800 110 038 or for more information go the www.lands.nsw.gov.au/valuation.

Even if you lodge an objection, you must still pay your rates while your objection is being considered.

Once a final determination has been made council will adjust the rates and refund where necessary.
