    Hi There,

    Just wondering how Land tax works with this scenario:

    Have an existing property that is being subdivided into 2 lots over the coming months.
    Plan to sell one of the lots and keep the other.

    – Would SRO Vic likely just split my current land tax fees evenly between the 2 lots, or would they recalculate and revalue upwards the value of each lot of land and in turn charge me more fees….

    – If I sell one of the lots – Do I have to pay all the fee’s due for the lot, or only a portion of the fees based on the length of the 12 month period for which I have ownership of the land…..

    Cheers

    recalculate based on value.

    not sure what you mean about selling. Land tax is paid for the full year in advance and you do not get any credit back if you sell mid year. But you can contract with the purchaser for them to reimburse you.
