    I'd like to ask a question about my land tax values.
    I'm over In Perth where prices in most areas have been struggling to not go backwards yet my rates have now also jumped.

    Property 1 went from 198 - > 247 = 24% increase
    Property 2 went from 148 - > 185 = 25% increase

    These two properties were on the same block and subdivided a number of years ago so I guess they just blanket through an increase over the entire area.

    Would I have grounds to appeal this?
    How can they suppose values have gone up that much when obviously they have not.

    One last question is my original land tax was issued Dec 2014 now my next one is April 2016. Is this a normal period I would of expected it to be 12 months or 18 month not 17.
