Fire Service Property Levy

  • Residential: $0.0053

Australian Valuation Property Classification Code (AVPCC)

The Council’s valuers have assigned an Australian Valuation Property Classification Code (AVPCC) to your property, according to the use of the land. As determined under the provisions of the Fire Service Property Levy Act 2012, the AVPCC is used to derive your property’s land use classification. The land use classification and AVPCC assigned to your property is displayed on the first page of your Shire Rates and Valuation Notice.

For further explanation of what the AVPCC means, you may download a list of the current AVPCCs(PDF, 7MB).
