Objections
If you do not agree with your property valuation, you may object to the valuation.
Property Valuations
Property values at the Date of Valuation, 1 January 2026, are determined by how the property market performed in the 2025 calendar year. Those values are used to determine rates and taxes for the 2026-2027 Financial Year by rating and taxing authorities.
