Property Valuation

Rate revenue helps fund the services Maroondah City Council provides to ratepayers and residents. This revenue is collected through charging rates to the owner or occupier of every property in the municipality. Council aims to charge ratepayers equitably - by using property values to fairly distribute rates charges.

Valuations

Property values are assessed by a general valuation of the municipality. The value of your property is assessed as the Capital Improved Value, which is the total market value of the land plus buildings and other improvements.

The market valuation of all properties occurs on the same date and is conducted by qualified valuers every two years. Valuers analyse recent sales and leasings and take into account individual characteristics of properties.

How your rates are calculated

Council rates and charges are issued in July/August each year. The notice shows the values of the property and the amount due in rates. Rates are calculated by multiplying the rate in the dollar (an amount set by Council in its annual budget planning) by the Capital Improved Value of the individual property.

Commercial and Industrial Property Owners

Commercial and Industrial Rental Questionnaires

State Government legislation requires all Councils to revalue all properties at least once every 2 years. Council is currently undertaking the next revaluation which will be based on levels of value as at 1st January 2008.

Each time a revaluation occurs, owners/managing agents/occupiers of commercial and industrial properties are requested to provide information to Council to assist in producing an accurate valuation. It may be that not all questions will be relevant for your property, but the completion of the form to the best of your ability will assist in the determination of fair and equitable valuations.

Start Council's questionnaire.

For each property you will require your Council assessment number and password which are located on the top right hand corner of the written questionnaire which you have received.

If you submitted information on the 2006 questionnaire, that previous information will be recorded. Please update any incorrect information. If nothing has changed then just confirm the details so we aware that all information submitted is correct.

Collection Statement

All information including any personal information requested as part of this questionnaire is being collected by Council for property valuation purposes in accordance with the Valuation of Land Act 1960 and will only be used for valuation or related purposes.
