📄 What You Need to Know
A quick summary of key points from the City’s official FAQ on General & Supplementary Valuations:
How valuations are determined
- Based on market value as at 1 July 2025
- Calculated using the City’s Computer-Assisted Mass Appraisal (CAMA) system
- Informed by recent sales, property attributes, and neighbourhood trends
Why it matters
- Your municipal rates are calculated directly from this valuation
- A higher valuation generally means higher monthly rates
If you disagree with your valuation
You may lodge an objection during the official objection period only. A valid objection must:
- Use the City’s official form
- Include supporting evidence
- Address the valuation, not the rates amount
After you object
- A municipal valuer reviews your submission
- Your valuation may go up, down, or stay the same
- You will receive a written outcome and may appeal
- Any adjustment is backdated to 1 July 2026
Supplementary Valuation Rolls
Properties that were changed, omitted, or newly built may appear in a supplementary roll with its own objection window.
