Section 10
Valuation List
(1)
The Chief Assessor must cause to be prepared a list, known as the Valuation List, of all houses, buildings, lands and tenements.
(2)
The inclusion in the Valuation List of any house or building which has been erected in contravention of any written law does not prevent the person who has contravened that law from being liable to the penalty provided under that law, or such unauthorised house or building from being demolished under the provisions of that law.
(3)
The Valuation List must contain in respect of all houses, buildings, lands and tenements —
a description or designation sufficient for identification;
the name of the owner;
the annual value ascribed thereto; and
such other particulars as the Chief Assessor may from time to time consider necessary.
(4)
Each part of a building divided laterally or horizontally into parts in such a manner that the owner, either solely or jointly with other owners, of one part is not also the owner either solely or jointly with the other owners respectively of any other part, is for the purpose of this Part deemed to be a building.
(5)
Each part of a partially completed building divided laterally or horizontally into parts is for the purposes of this Part deemed to be a building if it is used for human habitation or otherwise.
(6)
When the name of the owner is not known, it is sufficient to designate the owner in the Valuation List and in any proceedings to recover any tax or arrears thereof as “the owner” of that house, building, land or tenement (as the case may be) without further description.
(7)
The Valuation List may be prepared and kept in electronic form in a computer or on any magnetic, optical, chemical or other medium as may be determined by the Chief Assessor.
