Combining or Separating Assessments

Adjoining (Contiguous) Properties

If you own more than one property, you may be able to combine the properties into one assessment if they are under the same ownership and either:

  • next to each other or
  • separated by a reserve, open space, street, road, lane, footway, court, railway, thoroughfare or travelling route.

If you have properties that can be considered contiguous, please submit a request in email or writing to Council for consideration.

Separate Occupancy

The Valuation of Land Act legislates Councils must separately rate each part of a property that is capable of separate occupancy.  This means if you have more than one dwelling or business, your property may be required to have separate assessments for each one.

Please notify Council if you have more than one dwelling or business on your property.
