Check Hornsby council rates, the NSW land value behind ordinary rates, and whether your issue is a council charge or a Valuer General objection. This is research only, not a rates login.
A quick comparison for Hornsby: the dataset average is $1,277.70 a year against a NSW average near $1,082.92. The historical average ordinary rate shown for Hornsby is $1,277.70 a year (rank #38). Treat it as a comparison point from FY 2022/23 open data, not a quote for your property. Across Hornsby, neighbouring streets can sit in different markets even when they share a postcode label on a map. Check the deadline printed on your own Notice of Valuation. The common window is 60 days, but your notice controls. This page will not lodge anything for you. It is here to help you research Hornsby figures with clearer context.
Keep the Hornsby rates notice separate from the NSW Notice of Valuation so you know whether the issue is a council charge or the land value.
The usual objection window is 60 days from the Notice of Valuation. Use the date on your notice, not a blog rule of thumb.
Find Hornsby land sales or values with similar zoning, size, location and constraints. An LGA average cannot prove a property-specific error.

An objection can be rejected. Even a changed land value may not cut every line on the bill. Get professional advice if the matter is complex.
If your council rates seem excessive, you have the right to object to the land valuation for your property. Here is when and how:
