                    Fire Services Property Levy

                    The Fire Services Property Levy has been introduced to fund the operation of the Metropolitan Fire and Emergency Services Board and the Country Fire Authority. Councils are required to collect the levy on behalf of the Victorian Government.

                    ​Under the Fire Services Property Levy, all Victorian property owners will make an annual financial contribution to the state’s fire services through their council rates notices. It replaces the levy previously collected by insurance companies through property insurance premiums.

                    The levy applies to any parcel of land subject to separate ownership or occupation, and includes a fixed component as well as a variable charge assessed on the capital improved value of the property.

                    Visit Victorian Government’s Fire Services Property Levy for more information.
