15. Rating authority must give notice of valuation



(1) A rating authority that makes a valuation or causes a valuation to be made
must, in respect of each rate it makes or intends to make, give to the person
liable for the payment of that rate-

   (a)  a notice of valuation that-

   (i)  identifies the land in respect of which the rate is or will be
        payable; and

   (ii) shows the several bases of value assessed in respect of the land; and

   (iii) states the date as at which the value of the land was assessed; and

   (b)  a notice that some other authority may use one of the bases of value
        shown for the purposes of a rate or tax levied by that authority.

(2) The notice referred to in subsection (1)(b) must be given before or at the
same time as the notice referred to in subsection (1)(a).

(3) If the person liable for payment of the rate is not the occupier of the
land, the rating authority must also give the notices referred to in
subsection (1) to the occupier.

(4) This section does not apply in respect of a valuation of a transmission
easement made under section 5B.
