Property Valuations

The Valuer-General Victoria is responsible for valuations that are used to calculate your yearly rates total. These valuations are now undertaken annually to more accurately reflect changes to your property values. Valuations are effective as of the 1 January each year – in accordance with the Valuation of Land Act 1960 legislation and the Valuation Best Practice Specifications legislation.

If you wish to lodge an objection to any of the valuations shown on the front of your rates notice, you may do so on the prescribed form at ratingvaluationobjections.vic.gov.au (Object to rating valuation - Home ) within two months after the notice is served.

Note: Lodging an objection or appeal does not prevent the recovery of Council Rates, charges or State Government levies or the charging of interest. 

Under Section 184 of the Local Government Act 1989, a person who is aggrieved by a rate or charge, may appeal to the County Court within 60 days after first receiving written notice of the rate or charge.

Under Section 183 of the Local Government Act 1989, property owners may submit an application to the Victorian Civil & Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) within 60 days of receiving the notice, for a review of the differential rate classification of their land.
