Property information certificates

What is a property information certificate?

A property information certificate contains important land, building or planning information. 

Certificates may include information about: 

• land valuations and rates 
• building regulations 
• water 
• sewers and drains 
• flood levels 
• planning restrictions 
• bushfire areas 
• conservation 
• heritage listings 
• land tax 
• VicRoads 

Property information certificates are used when a property is being bought or sold. Visit Consumer Affairs Victoria for information on buying and selling. 

We strongly recommend you talk to a conveyancer or lawyer to find out what you need to supply as a seller, or check if you are a buyer. Our how to get help page has information on how to find one. 

How to order a property information certificate

Normally, a conveyancer or lawyer will order certificates on your behalf. 

You can also order certificates yourself online through the LANDATA® and authorised information brokers. Our information about land titles page has contact details.
