Land Tax Statistics by Victorian Municipality

2023 and 2024 data provides a summary of land tax levied across Victoria's 79 municipalities. The dataset includes municipality name, property count, total unimproved land value, total proportionate tax, and each municipality's percentage of the state's total tax. This information is collected by the State Revenue Office under the Land Tax Act 2005.
