About these records

Valuation registers contain a single record of property ownership, value, and improvements or changes  over time for individual properties. These registers were created by the Department of the Treasurer and the Office of the Valuer-General, for land and houses across Victoria from the 1930s to the 1970s. 

These registers are separate from the rate records created by each local council as the State Government also recorded property values to calculate land tax.
