What is a Supplementary Rates notice?
A Supplementary Rates notice is issued when there has been a change to the valuation or classification of a property. Supplementary valuations can happen for the following reasons:
- Construction of a dwelling
- Subdividing land
- Changing the use of the land
- Renovations or extensions
- Demolition or damage to a building
- Addition of a pool, shed, or pergola
- Successful objection to a valuation
The Supplementary Rates notice will be generated based on the property’s new valuation. When you receive a Supplementary Rates Notice, it replaces any rates notices previously received for the financial year.
When will I receive my Supplementary Rates notice?
Supplementary valuations are completed in accordance with the Valuation of Land Act 1960 (Act) and the Valuations Best Practice Specification Guidelines (VBPSG). The annual valuation process prescribed by VBPSG for the purposes of certification is divided into four stages. Supplementary valuations can be submitted between stages one to three; therefore, you can expect to receive a Supplementary Valuation any time between July and March.
How can I object to my Supplementary Rates Notice Valuation?
You can lodge an objection if you disagree with the value of your property. Objections must be lodged within two months of the Supplementary Rates Notice issue date.
