How is the Taxable Value of a property determined?
The State Revenue Office uses valuations provided by the municipal councils. Valuations used on assessments are a direct reflection of the councils ‘site value’ or capital unimproved value from the previous year’s council rates notice. This site value reflects the value of the land as at 1 Jan of the year it was issued. (For example, Site Value shown on a 2008-2009 financial year council rates notice reflects the value of the land as at 1 Jan 2008 and is used for the 2009 calendar year Land Tax assessment).
