Objections to 2024 property revaluations are now closed. Visit General property revaluation for more information on the 2024 revaluation.

An objection can result in an increase or decrease in the property's value. There is no guarantee that the capital value will be revised as a result of the objection. It can also be a long process.

Guide to objecting to our valuation of a property

To object to a property valuation, you must:

  • be a ratepayer
  • submit your objection before the due date on the back of the valuation notice
  • provide a valid technical reason as at 1 May 2024 for your objection (for example, incorrect number of bedrooms or bathrooms)
  • provide enough information to support your objection.

You can object if you think a property valuation is incorrect, but you cannot object to how the valuation affects your rates.

Not all property values change in the same way. For example, valuations for flats may differ to houses, apartments or shops. Many other factors affect the value of a property, such as its:

  • age
  • size
  • construction
  • location.

All properties, including leasehold properties, are valued as if they are freehold properties.
