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.
