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 fee is $300 plus GST ($330 including GST).
No professional fee is payable unless RJS lodges an objection and the objection results in a reduction to the valuation contained in your Rates Notice.
If the financial benefit from a successful objection is less than $330, RJS will reduce its professional fee so the fee is reasonable having regard to the benefit achieved.
The fee is payable when the objection is lodged. If the objection is unsuccessful, a refund will be arranged.
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.
