How Do I find Out More About My Property Value?

The Valuer-General currently values all properties each year.

The values placed on your property are used by rating authorities as a basis for the levying of rates and taxes. The rating authorities that use the property values are:

• S A Water Corporation for levying water and sewerage rates
• The Commissioner of Land Tax for levying land tax where applicable
• Revenue SA for levying emergency services
• Local Councils for levying council rates

Both site and capital values, as defined under the Valuation of Land Act 1971, are determined by the State Valuation Office.

In essence the 'site value' is the value of the land excluding structural improvements while the 'capital value' is the value of the land including improvements.

Rating authorities may use either site or capital values in levying rates.

You should find out which values the various rating authorities use for your locality.
