Appeal against the Valuer-General’s decision on objection
If you disagree with a decision on objection made by the Valuer-General about the site value or unimproved value of your land, you may be able to apply to the Land Court to appeal the decision.
You must lodge your appeal within 60 days of the date on the decision on objection.
Who can apply
You can use this online form to appeal to the Land Court if you’re a Queensland landholder (or a landholder’s solicitor or authorised agent) and you have previously:
- lodged an objection to a statutory land valuation (annual or maintenance valuation) with the Valuer-General
and - received a decision on your objection from the Valuer-General that you disagree with.
Read the relevant sections of the Land Valuation Act 2010.
How to complete this form
Refer to your decision on objection to answer the questions.
You must tell us your grounds of appeal and your estimated valuation amount.
If your appeal goes to a court hearing, it will be limited to the grounds you state on this form—you can’t add more grounds later.
