How does my land value affect my council rates?

The Valuer General provides land values to councils in NSW at least once every 3 years. These values are used by each council to determine council rates - the Valuer General does not set rates for councils. A council can choose the combination of rates, charges, fees and pricing appropriate for their area and community. If your land value increases it doesn't necessarily mean your rates will rise. Find out more about rates by contacting your local council. For more information on land valuations visit valuergeneral.n...
