If you think your rates have been calculated incorrectly, you can lodge an objection to your valuation.
You must do this within two months of the issue date of your rates notice.
We strongly suggest you talk to us about your concerns before you lodge an objection. Call us on 1300 023 411 and ask for the Rating Services team. We are open Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm.
Grounds for lodging an objection
To lodge an objection, you will need to provide a reason, or grounds, for your objection. The grounds are:
- your valuation is too high or too low
- ownership details are incorrect
- the property has been divided or grouped incorrectly
- the apportionment of the valuation is not correct
- the wrong person is listed on the notice
- the property details (such as size or description) are incorrect.
What happens once you’ve lodged an objection
Your objection will be passed onto the valuer of your property. You will be notified once the valuer has made a decision.
If your property is revalued, the revised value will be sent to the Valuer General Victoria for certification.
