Online Duties FAQs: Valuations

Answers to your questions about valuations and Online Duties.

What is an electronic valuation request (EVR)?

If a transaction requires an independent valuation to be obtained before an assessment is issued, an EVR can be submitted which will capture the same information as in the duties valuation form and be sent to Landgate for valuation.

An online message will be received once the valuation has been approved. The transaction can then be assessed online and the Certificate of Duty printed.

It can take up to 15 working days for a valuation to be made on metropolitan property and 30 working days for a valuation to be made on non-metropolitan property.  Complex valuations or remote locations timeframes are agreed with the Valuer General on a case-by-case basis.

If the transaction is urgent and you haven't received a response to your EVR after 10 working days, request an urgent EVR using the subcategory ‘Urgent Assessment Request’ and include:

  • Bundle ID and indicate that it is an ROL related party transaction
  • initial EVR ID and date it was submitted and
  • party names.

If you have already requested a valuation for the first home owner grant or first home owner rate of duty, please submit your EVR then contact us to expedite this valuation. 

If you don't agree with the EVR, transfer the transaction using the ‘Transfer to Duties Lodgment’ option to request a review of the valuation. See if the transaction can still be settled by eConveyancing.

What if I have a valuation from a licensed valuer?

If you have a valuation from a licensed valuer, you can upload this to the transaction. We will accept the valuation in accordance with the relevant Commissioner’s practices.
