About land valuations in Queensland
Privacy and use of information
The Valuer-General collects property information to undertake statutory land valuations in accordance with the Land Valuation Act 2010. We use this information to maintain the valuation roll, and it includes the names and addresses of property owners, the sale price and date of sale of each property, and its unimproved or site value. A range of property data from the valuation roll is made publicly available, and you can purchase information from the valuation roll either through our business centres or from resellers of property data.
Officers’ access to land
Authorised officers of the State Valuation Service are allowed to enter public places and private property, with the owner’s consent.
Requests for information
The State Valuation Service can request information to help carry out the functions of the Valuer-General. This could include information relevant to a sales transaction (e.g. copies of relevant documents) or information about rentals income received, expected outgoings, incentives or other relevant terms of a lease.
It's important that you comply with reasonable requests for information to avoid facing penalties.
Suppression of personal details
The Valuer-General may suppress ownership details in the valuation roll if there is a risk to a person’s safety or property, whether the person is the landowner or a person living at that address. To apply, complete the Application for suppression direction (Form 63) (PDF, 545KB) and lodge it along with supporting documents by email, post or in person at one of our business centres.
Industry code of conduct
To address concerns about the inappropriate use of data for direct marketing purposes, a self-regulated industry property data code of conduct is in place (the Personal Identification Information in Property Data Code of Conduct). For more information, or if you have any concerns about the misuse of the data, email the Code Oversight Committee at info@propertydatacodeofconduct.com.au
