report description

A Rating valuation contains all the key information for a property, including the capital value, floor area, and property age.

All properties in a local council area have their rating valuations reviewed at the same time. This happens at least once every 3 years and gives a good basis to be able to compare properties in a local council area.

In accordance with the Local Government Rating Act (2002), Owners names are not displayed on the Rating valuation where there has been a change to owners details after April 29^th 2003.

Rating value data

9. Capital value The assessment of the probable price that would have been paid for the property if it had sold at the date of the last general revaluation. Capital value does not include chattels, stocks, crops, machinery, goodwill or plantation trees.
10. Land value The probable price that would have been paid for just the land as at the date of valuation. The land value includes any development work which may have been carried out, such as, draining, excavation, filling, retaining walls, reclamation, grading, levelling, clearing of vegetation, fertility build-up, or protection from erosion or flooding.
11. Value of improvements This is the difference between the capital and land values. It reflects the additional value given to the land by any buildings, other structures or cropping trees and vines present on the property, and any landscaping that adds value to the land.
12. Rating value date The valuation date is the date at which the values are assessed.  Each Local Authority has one valuation date applying to all its properties, often referred to as revision date.  If a new improvement or subdivision is done after this date, it will be assessed as at the revision date to maintain uniformity.
