VALUATION OF LAND ACT 1971 - SECT 24

24—Objection to valuation

        (1)         Subject to this section, a person who is dissatisfied with a valuation of land in force under this Act may, by notice in writing served personally or by post on the Valuer-General, object to the valuation.

        (1a)         After notice of a valuation (whenever made) is first served after the commencement of this subsection on the owner or occupier of the land, an objection to the valuation may only be made by the owner or occupier so served within 60 days after the date of service of the notice.

        (1b)         However, if the owner or occupier is served with a further notice of the valuation, the person so served will have a further right to object to the valuation provided that—

            (a)         the further notice is the first notice of the valuation served on the person under the Act under which the notice is served; and

            (b)         the objection is made within 60 days after the date of service of that further notice.

        (1c)         A person may not make an objection to a valuation if the Valuer-General has previously considered an objection by that person to the valuation.

        (1d)         For the purposes of determining the period within which an objection to a valuation must be made—

            (a)         notice of the valuation sent by post to a person at a proper address for service of the person will be taken to be served at that address at the end of the second day after the day on which it was sent by post unless it is proved that it was not delivered to that address at all; and

            (b)         an apparently genuine document purporting to be issued by the authority that sent the notice and to certify that a specified notice was sent by post on a specified day to a specified person at a specified address will, in the absence of proof to the contrary, constitute proof of the matters so certified.

        (2)         A notice of objection under subsection (1) must contain a full and detailed statement of the grounds on which the objection is based.
