The Australian Valuation Property Clarification Code (AVPCC) is a property identifier. It is assigned to your property by the valuers as per the Emergency Services and Volunteers Act 2012 showing your land use classification and is now indicated on your rate notice.

The AVPCC has no effect on the valuation of your property, it is used to identify the property’s classification (residential / commercial etc.) which is applied to calculate the Fire Service Property Levy that you contribute in accordance to the Emergency Services and Volunteers Act 2012.

Legislation requires this code to be printed on your rates notice.
