welcome to r j s & associates
If you believe the valuation on your Council Rates Notice does not reflect your property and its circumstances, you may have grounds to object.
Valuation objections are subject to a strict 60-day time limit.
R J Sanderson & Associates can review your Rates Notice and property information to determine whether there are reasonable grounds for an objection. Where appropriate, we can prepare and lodge the objection on your behalf.
We can review the valuation contained in your Council Rates Notice and relevant information about your property.
Our review may consider:
Where we consider there are reasonable grounds for an objection, our team can prepare and lodge the objection on your behalf.
We can also communicate with the relevant Council, Valuer-General Victoria, contract valuers and other relevant authorities in relation to the objection.
The maximum professional fees are:
Residential Property
$300 plus GST
Rural Property
$450 plus GST
Commercial Property
$600 plus GST
Industrial Property
$600 plus GST
No professional fee is payable unless RJS lodges an objection.
If the estimated financial benefit from an objection is less than the applicable professional fee, RJS will reduce its fee so that it is reasonable having regard to the estimated benefit.
The professional fee is payable when the objection is lodged. The fee covers the professional work undertaken by RJS to review, prepare and lodge the objection and is not refundable if the objection is unsuccessful.
Valuation objections are subject to a strict statutory time limit of 60 days.
Please provide your Rates Notice and supporting information as soon as possible. We need sufficient time to review your information and, where appropriate, prepare and lodge an objection within the required timeframe.
Submitting your information does not guarantee that an objection will be lodged or accepted. We will assess the information provided and determine whether there are reasonable grounds to proceed.
