The Department of Land Valuation has begun preparations for Bermuda’s new 2026 Valuation List, requiring all property owners across the island to submit updated property details by 28 February 2026.
A Government spokesperson said, “Under the Land Valuation and Tax Act 1967, this process ensures rental values are kept accurate and up to date for land tax purposes.
“For the first time, revaluation return forms must be submitted electronically through the Government’s official website at www.gov.bm/2026-revaluation. Property owners can complete the forms online and access clear guidance to assist them. For most property owners, the online form offers a faster, simpler, and more convenient way to provide information. The form can be completed on any device, though a PC or tablet is recommended for ease of use. For assistance, property owners may contact the Land Valuation Department at 297-7964, option 0.
“Hard copy forms will only be mailed to specialist commercial and tourist properties, including car parks, cycle liveries, gas stations, hotel shops, and tourist units.”
Premier and Minister of Finance David Burt said: “We are modernising the way Bermudians interact with Government by adopting a secure, fully digital system for the revaluation process. Online submission improves accuracy, reduces administrative costs, and delivers more accessible service for taxpayers. This digital transformation strengthens the foundation of our land valuation system, supporting fair assessments and efficient public administration.”
The spokesperson said, “Providing accurate information is essential to ensure fair and transparent valuations. The online system is secure and encrypted, and all information provided will be kept confidential and used only for the revaluation process. Contact details may be used by the Department for future correspondence. For added security, the system records IP addresses as part of the digital signature upon submission.
“This revaluation is particularly important following the postponement of the 2020 cycle due to the pandemic. Legislative changes have since enabled the platform to be upgraded to a fully digital process, allowing for electronic notices and online returns. These reforms ensure the process is efficient, inclusive, and fit for purpose, reducing red tape and making it easier for property owners to comply.
“The draft 2026 Valuation List will be deposited on 31 December 2026, based on rental values as of 1 July 2025, and the new Valuation List will take effect for land tax purposes on 1 January 2027.”
