FRESH VALUATIONS
The Valuer-General has recently conducted a fresh valuation for the Tasman municipality.
Notices of Valuation will be issued between the 4th and 11th June 2025, valuations become effective for rating and taxing purposes from the 1 July 2025. The Valuer-General looks at:
Land Value – the value of the property including draining, excavation, filling, reclamation, clearing and any other invisible improvements made to the land. It excludes all visible improvements, such as buildings, structures, fixtures, roads, standings, dams, channels, artificially established trees and pastures and other like improvements.
Capital Value – the total value of the property (including the land value), excluding plant and
machinery.
Assessed Annual Value (AAV) – the gross annual rental value of the property excluding GST, municipal rates, land tax and fixed water and sewerage, but cannot be less than 4% of the capital value.
A Valuation Notice is NOT a Council Rates Notice.
If you disagree with your valuations, you can lodge a formal objection with the Valuer-General within 60 days after receipt of a Notice of Valuation.
