YeeHa! I objected to 2 Land Valuations this year and both were upheld! Not that I want the value of the Investments to be reduced, but the values placed on them were just plain revenue raising (for Land Tax, Water rates, ESL rates and Council rates) and way over the top.
One of them involved a Body Corporate; they totally discouraged me from doing anything about it blah blah, but as if I could care what they think, they dont pay the bills! The Land Valuers Office later rang me and said their whole valuation process was wrong for this property, but I was the only one who had objected in time, so everyone else will be paying at the higher rate (it was only purchased November 2007 but Land Valuers had doubled the value!
)
This is the third time I have objected to a valuation, and also third time it was reduced! So glad K Foley (SA Treasurer) is not going to get one cent more than he should - and I have already received some credit notices in the post for water and Council charges!
