Rating valuations rules review

The Valuer-General (VG) and Toitū Te Whenua Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) plan to update rating valuations rules (RVR) to support a nationally consistent, impartial, independent, and equitable rating valuation system and ensure it remains current in today’s digital age.

The rule changes will contribute to the creation of a modern valuation system where all information is digital, meaning data can be more easily accessed and transferred.

The ultimate aim is to have a set of RVR that remain user-friendly and easy-to-understand, while continuing to achieve regulatory objectives.  

Next steps   

We will review the rules in phases over 2023 and intend to meet regularly with councils and valuation service providers throughout this process to seek views on potential changes. 

This information will help inform a final draft set of rules which we will formally consult on, with the consultation expected to be in 2024.
