When Land & Property Services (LPS) receives an application, a LPS valuer will visit and assess the property. They will assess the damage. If it is significant, they may change the property’s value and update the Valuation List. If the Valuation List is not changed, ratepayers can then consider applying for Hardship Rate Relief.
