Understanding your notice of valuation
The Valuer General sends a notice of valuation at least once every three years to help you prepare for council rate settings and annual land tax assessment notices.
Your notice of land valuation
The Valuer General sends you a notice of valuation when your council receives new values. This happens at least once every three years and allows you to consider your land value before the council sets your rates.
We will also send you a supplementary notice of valuation if we:
change your land value through our quality assurance program
change your land value to reflect changes to the zoning or features
change the property description, area or dimensions
make new valuations for land in a subdivision
make a single new valuation for land we previously valued separately
make separate new valuations for land we previously valued together.
For more information about supplementary notices of valuation, see our Your supplementary notice fact sheet.
Getting your notice of land valuation
You can choose to receive your notice of valuation by email instead of by post.
To opt in for email delivery:
- Log in to your NSW Valuation and Objection Portal account.
- Follow the steps to update your notice delivery method.
Visit the portal page for detailed instructions, including how to create an account.
If you need help or want to update your postal address for mailed notices, call us on (02) 6332 8188 Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm.
Note: If your notice has already been printed, it will still be sent by post. Once you’ve opted in, you’ll receive future notices by email.
Land tax
Landowners liable for land tax or surcharge land tax receive annual assessment notices from Revenue NSW
Your annual assessment notice will include a list of all NSW land you owned on 31 December the previous year and how much tax you must pay.
