Rating authority may use valuation of another rating authority

8. Rating authority may use valuation of another rating authority



(1) If the valuer-general is satisfied after due enquiry that any general
valuation made by any rating authority (other than a council) is satisfactory
for the purposes of another rating authority which desires to adopt and use
the valuation he may approve of the adoption and use of the valuation by such
other authority and thereupon the first mentioned authority shall supply the
other authority with a copy of the valuation certified as a true copy of the
valuation and such valuation shall have the same force and effect as if it
were made by a valuer duly appointed or employed by the adopting authority.

(2) If any such valuation does not provide a valuation of all of the rateable
land in the area of the rating authority which has adopted it the adopting
authority may cause a valuation to be made only of the rateable land which is
not included in the valuation and such valuation shall be added to and form
part of the valuation already made.

(3) If any such valuation extends to rateable land which does not form part of
the area of the adopting rating authority only such portion of the valuation
as relates to land in such area shall be deemed to have been adopted.
