Earlier this month, the Valuer-General issued statutory land valuation notices for all land, including commercial and residential land, in various local government areas throughout Queensland. The effective date of the valuations is 30 June 2018 and will be the basis for determining your rates and any land tax for FY18/19.

If you do not agree with the valuation, you are entitled to lodge an objection with the Department of Natural Resources and Mines.

In order for your objection to be considered, you must:

  • lodge the objection within 60 days of the valuation notice being issued;
  • provide reasons why the valuation is incorrect; and
  • include the specific information required by the Land Valuation Act 2010.
