About land valuations in Queensland
Impact on rates and land tax
Will my rates go up?
While your land valuation can affect your rates, it is just one of many factors that are considered when local councils frame their annual budgets and determine rates.
Rates can change even when your land value hasn’t.
For more information about council rates, visit the Department of Local Government, Water and Volunteers website or contact your local council.
State land tax
Queensland Revenue Office uses land valuations to calculate state land tax. You may need to pay state land tax if the total value of your land holdings exceeds the threshold.
Find out more about land tax, including thresholds and exemptions, via the Queensland Revenue Office.
State land rental
Land valuations are used to calculate state land rental for leasehold land.
I don’t agree with my valuation
If you don’t think your valuation is right and have evidence, you can make an objection within 60 days of your notice’s issue date.
If we valued your land as non-rural when you think it should be rural land, you can make a rural land application.
If natural events have caused your land to be permanently damaged, you can apply for a change in land valuation within 6 months of the damage occurring.
