A new valuation list for all the Island’s properties is to be drawn up, taking into account changes in rents since the last list was made at the end of 2009.

The next revaluation is due on December 31, the land valuation department announced.

For revaluation, the department has to gather property details, including rents, for a new 2015 list.

Residential rental survey forms are being sent to all land taxpayers on the Island, along with prepaid return envelopes.

A department spokesman advised that the forms should be returned within 21 days of receipt.

“Please check your forms carefully as every form sent out will have the assessment number, specific to the valuation unit but may not include the name of the building or apartment,” he said.

If the name of the premises is not listed, taxpayers should consult www.landvaluation.bm or call 297-7964 to confirm the unit name to which the assessment number on the form relates.

The unit name, as shown on the website, should then be handwritten clearly on the form.

Checking is crucial because each form is unique to a specific unit in the Valuation List identified by the assessment number, unit name and address.

For assistance, call 297-7964 or take forms to the Department of Land Valuation, on the second floor of Global House, Church Street, Hamilton.
