​​​​​​​​​A land tax search certificate shows the land tax payable for that property for the financial year, and includes an estimate of land tax owing by a property vendor at settlement date.

​A land tax search shows the land tax that is:  

• outstanding on the property you are selling and on all other properties on your land tax account (this amount must be paid before finalising the sale/transfer);  
•  payable for the property for the financial year (this will help you to calculate how much land tax can be recovered on settlement).​
  

Searches are based on the information available on the land tax database at the date and time of the search. A certificate is issued which includes the date and time of the search.

Refer to the Land tax search factsheet for additional information.
