Council valuations
Councils in Victoria are responsible for revaluing properties in their municipalities every two years. Up-to-date council valuations across the state are critical to ensure equity in rating and other tax determinations.
Most councils employ contract valuers to perform revaluations and provide supplementary valuations.
Valuers contracted by councils complete the revaluation process in accordance with statewide Valuation Best Practice Specifications, which are updated for each revaluation.
Valuer-General Victoria (VGV) oversees the revaluation process. It monitors the progress of all revaluations, provides advice to councils on valuation methodologies and ensures council valuers apply uniform standards across the state.
VGV also certifies all council revaluations to ensure they have been completed according to the required standards as well as preparing land tax valuations for property in non-local government areas and for non-rateable properties owned by public utilities.
You can find more detailed information about revaluation in VGV’s series of fact sheets. These fact sheets are updated for each revaluation cycle. The 2008 fact sheets are still available.
