Are Your Rates Too High?

If your council rates seem excessive, you have the right to object to the land valuation for your property. Here is when and how:

Objection Window:You have 60 days from receiving your Notice of Valuation to lodge an objection with the Valuer General.

Valid Grounds:Your land value is higher than similar properties in your area, or incorrect property details were used.

Evidence Required:Comparable sales data showing similar properties with lower valuations.

Need a clearer next step?

Compare NSW council rates first, then decide whether your land value evidence is strong enough for an objection. Separate council account questions from NSW Valuer General land-value evidence before acting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Canada Bay council rates based on?

Canada Bay council rates are calculated using your land value multiplied by the council's rate in dollar, plus a base charge. The average Canada Bay rate is approximately $1010/year, varying by property value. Rates fund council services including roads, waste management, parks, community facilities, and planning services.

How often do Canada Bay rates change?

Canada Bay updates land valuations every 3 years. Rates can also increase annually when the council adjusts its rate in dollar to cover service costs. Your Notice of Valuation typically arrives 2-3 months before the council applies the new valuation to your rates.

Can I object to my Canada Bay rates?

Yes. You can object to your Canada Bay land valuation through the NSW Valuer General within 60 days of receiving your Notice of Valuation. The process is free if you DIY. Success depends on presenting strong market evidence (comparable sales) proving the valuation is too high.
