Port Vila Municipality

Process of Valuing and Determining Property Tax

On completion of buildings in Port Vila, the Town Planning and Evaluation Unit officers re-measure the buildings to determine the tax payable as Property Tax to the Council.
Factors such as Location, Quality of building and Materials used in the building determines the value of the property hence the Property Tax is calculated as 5.5% of the rateable value of the property.

If you have demolished your building and or if extension is made.
If you think there is a mistake in the value you are paying as property tax to the Council

The calculation upon completion by the Valuation Officer is sent to the Treasury Unit to finalize calculations and prepare the bills for distribution.
The property Tax Bills get sent out to property owners twice a year that is on a 6 monthly basis.
The first half (semester 1)of the bills were distributed by end of December of every year and MUST be paid by 15th of March of the following year.
Surcharges of 5% will be added if payments are made after 15th of March.
The second half (semester 2) is distributed at the end of June and payments MUST be made by 15th September of the same year.
Again 5% surcharge is added if payment was made after that date.
