This visual guide shows the key steps we take to assess your land valuation objection. It’s designed to help you understand the process and know what to expect at each stage.
You can follow the steps below or download the visual guide as a PDF for easy reference.
You receive a notice of valuation, land tax assessment notice or supplementary notice.
If you believe your land value is incorrect or contains factual errors, you can lodge an objection within 60 days. The Valuation of Land Act 1916 outlines the grounds for objection.
Lodge online using the NSW Valuation and Objection Portal or call 1800 110 038 for assistance.
For more information read the How to object to a land valuation and how we review this page.
You’ll receive an email confirming we’ve received your objection.
A different valuer, not involved in the original valuation, will assess your objection.
The valuer will review your supporting evidence, compare your land value to sales of similar properties, and conduct any necessary audits. They may contact you to discuss your objection or arrange an inspection if required.
If your objection relates to land value, you will receive a preliminary objection report stating whether the
objection is allowed or disallowed. If it relates to land value, the report will include the corrected land
value.
If your objection relates to your property information only, you may not receive a report.
For more information read the Valuer General's review guide.
You have 14 days to respond if there are errors of fact.
If you don’t respond, a final objection determination letter will be issued.
If you believe the report contacts factual errors, you can submit a response or request an informal phone conference.
A valuer will assess your response to check for factual errors and determine if the report needs revising.
If changes are needed, you’ll receive an amended report, along with your final objection determination letter.
We aim to notify you of the decision within 90 days.
If your land value changes, we will inform your council and Revenue NSW.
If you’re not satisfied with the outcome, you can appeal to the Land and Environment Court of NSW within 60 days of the determination letter.
