27 Where lands are to be separately valued

(1) Where several parcels of land, owned by the same person, are separately let to different persons, they shall be separately valued.

(2) Lands which do not adjoin or which are separated by a road, or are separately owned, shall be separately valued: Provided that the Valuer-General shall, subject to section 28, include in one valuation lands owned by the same person if worked as one holding for agricultural or pastoral purposes.

(3) Subject to subsection (3A), where portion of a parcel of land which has been valued is sold, conveyed, or compulsorily acquired fresh valuations shall be made of the portions sold, conveyed, or compulsorily acquired and of the portion remaining.

(3A) If any general valuation has been made since a portion of a parcel of land which has been valued was sold, conveyed or compulsorily acquired and the general valuation does not include a valuation of that portion and of the portion remaining the Valuer-General shall make a further valuation of each portion.

(3B) A valuation of a portion made pursuant to subsections (3) and (3A) shall, until the value of that portion is included in a subsequent valuation, made having regard to the sale, conveyance or compulsory acquisition, which may be used for rating and taxing purposes, be used to the exclusion of any other valuation by any rating or taxing authority as the basis of any rate or tax levied or leviable in respect of any rating or taxing year following the sale, conveyance or compulsory acquisition.

(4) Where a part only of a parcel of land is subject to a particular rate or tax, the value of such parcel shall be apportioned so as to show separately the value of that part which is subject to the particular rate or tax.

(4A) Land that is required to be separately valued under this section is to be valued, for the purposes of any relevant rating or taxing authority:

(a) as at the 1 July by reference to which the land was valued for the purposes of the valuation list for that authority current at the time the land became required to be separately valued, and

(b) as at the 1 July by reference to which the land has been valued for the purposes of any subsequent valuation list for that authority.

(5) This section does not apply to land which is required, by section 27B, to be separately valued or included in one valuation.
