The news comes as NSW Valuer General, Philip Western announces that 23,317 notices of valuation have been issued to landholders in the Greater Taree local government area.
Mr Western said the notices show the land value of a property based on property market conditions as at July 1, 2013.
Land value is the value of the land only and does not include the value of the home or other improvements on the land.
"Land values are one factor considered by councils when determining rates.
"The notice of valuation gives landholders the opportunity to consider their land value before it is used by council," Mr Western said.
"Land values are fixed for rating until new values are issued to council, which usually occurs every three to four years.
"Landholders in Greater Taree were previously issued with a notice of valuation showing their property's land value as at July 1, 2010.
"The total land value of the Greater Taree local government area was approximately $3.92 billion as at July 1, 2013. This is an overall decrease from the total land value of approximately $4.15 billion determined as at July 1, 2010.
"Changes in land values don't necessarily lead to similar changes in rates. Each council develops a revenue policy to use in the calculation of rates and charges to fund services for the community."

Mr Western said valuers take a number of factors into consideration when determining land values.
"Property sales are the most important factor considered when determining land values.
Real estate analysis in the Greater Taree LGA has been comprehensive during the course of the 2013 valuation program with 621 residential, 17 commercial, nine industrial and 238 rural sales analysed," Mr Western said.
"In the three year period since landholders in the Greater Taree LGA were issued with Notices of Valuation, residential land values in Taree, Wingham, Tinonee and Cundletown have remained steady, while properties in the Harrington, Old Bar, Wallabi Point, Diamond Beach and Hallidays Point areas have generally shown slight to moderate decreases.
Commercial and industrial land values for properties across the Greater Taree LGA have generally remained steady, with the exception of land within the Kolodong Industrial Estate which has declined slightly.
"Land values for rural properties within the Greater Taree LGA have remained steady, with the exception of smaller rural properties in the Oxley Island locality which have shown a slight to moderate decrease.
"Land values for rural residential and hobby farm properties across the Greater Taree LGA have remained stable or shown slight decreases since Notices of Valuation were last issued.
"Village land values have remained stable or decreased slightly with the exception of small properties in the Croki and Purfleet localities which have shown a moderate decrease."
