Adverse natural events occur regularly and present challenges for landowners in many parts of Queensland. The following information explains how floods and adverse weather events like cyclones are considered in your land valuation, as well as what you can do if your land has been permanently damaged.
When reviewing a valuation due to an adverse natural event, we consider a range of issues, including:
We only value your land, so structures on your land, such as houses, buildings and fences, are not considered when we calculate the land value.
Because the full impact of adverse natural causes on the market value of land may not be evident for some time after the event, we continue to monitor market movements throughout the year and reflect any market effects at the next valuation.
Your land valuation considers the impact of historic flooding—this may also be reflected in property market sale transactions.
The State Valuation Service monitors the impact of flooding and other adverse weather events on property market sales and this information may inform future land valuations.
Valuers consider a range of information including:
We only value your land, so structures on your land, such as houses, buildings and fences, are not considered when we calculate the land value.
If you don't agree with your new valuation, and can provide information to show that it's incorrect, you can lodge an objection within 60 days of the date the valuation was issued.
The 60-day objection period for the 2023 land valuations closed on 16 May 2023.

You can apply for a change in valuation within 6 months of the permanent damage occurring by writing to the Valuer-General.
