Land valuation
Land is valued for the purposes of land tax and local government rates. A person may object to a valuation of land by the Valuer-General. If the person is dissatisfied with the Valuer-General’s determination of the person’s objection, the person may appeal to the Land and Environment Court. The appeal is made under s 37 of the Valuation of Land Act 1916. The appeal is allocated to Class 3 of the Court’s jurisdiction.
On the appeal, the person has the onus of proving its case, including that the values assigned by the Valuer-General are too high or too low (see s 40(2) of the Valuation of Land Act 1916).
