Land Victoria Fees Changes to Lodgement Fees from 1 July 2008

In accordance with the Monetary Units Act 2004, Land Victoria fees expressed in number of fee units will increase from 1 July 2008.

The increases are applicable to fees contained in the:

• Transfer of Land (Fees) Regulations 2004
• Subdivision (Registrar’s Fees) Regulations 2004
• Instruments (Fees) Regulations 2004
• Property Law (Fees) Regulations 2004
• Water (Resource Management) Regulations 2007

The new fees are determined by multiplying the number of fee units contained in the Regulations by the value of the fee unit being $11.35 (which is the amount announced by the Treasurer in Special Government Gazette 66, 14 March 2008), and rounded to the nearest 10 cents.

Other lodgement fees expressed as dollar amounts, such as the Safe Custody Fee and the Correspondence Fee, will not change.

Lodgement fees expressed in number of fee units in other Regulations will also increase on 1 July 2008, along with search fees expressed in number of fee units.

The following tables detail the new lodgement fees for Land Victoria transactions.

Queries concerning the new lodging fees should be directed to 8636 2010.

Queries relating to search fees should be directed to 8636 2456.
