Notifications due 15 January 2022

Notifications for vacant residential land tax and the absentee owner surcharge are due by 15 January 2022. If you made a notification last year, you only need to make a new one if your circumstances have changed.

Vacant residential land tax

Vacant residential land tax was waived in 2021 as part of Victorian Government coronavirus relief measures, and will re-commence in 2022. You must notify us online if you own a property in inner and middle Melbourne that was vacant for more than six months in 2021.

Absentee owner surcharge

An absentee owner surcharge applies to Victorian land owned by an absentee individual, corporation or trust. If you are an absentee owner, you must notify us via our absentee owner notification portal.
