VPRS 8829 Register of Rateable Properties

FunctionSection 299 of the Local Government Act 1958 and the Municipal Accounting Regulations provided that a Council may divide a rate book into two sections comprising a Register of Rateable Properties and a Rates Register. The former may consist of cards or loose leaves and the latter may comprise copies of rate assessment notices forwarded to the rate payers.The Register of Rateable Properties provides a record of each individual property while the Rates Register provides accounting detail.The volumes dating 1963 to 1976 contain details of rates paid, the volumes for the period 1976/1977 to 1984/1985 do not contain this information.The location of rate books or other earlier rate records was not known at the time of transfer (April 1994).There are four sequences of volumes within this series. With the exception of the rate payment detail, each sequence contains the same information. However, there are minor differences in format.The sequences also reflect changes in the status and composition of Croydon (ie. Shire of Croydon [Ringwood, Box Hill, Warrandyte, Croydon, Scoresby Divisions]; City of Croydon [Templestowe and Boronia Provinces, Casey and LaTrobe Divisions, Warrandyte, Croydon and Croydon West Subdivisions])A new sequence of volumes was created every 4 to 5 years. One card per property was created to record details of valuations conducted in each sequence. Valuations were conducted at approximately three year intervals, with the years covered by this series being 1963/1964 to 1985/1986.Each card includes some or all of the following information:assessment numberproperty numbername of the warddescription of the propertyowner / occupier's nameannual rate payment details made over a period of timeproperty valueOccasionally there are dates of sale and purchase prices listed next to the owner's details.

1958年《地方政府法》第299条及《市政会计条例》规定，市政委员会可将税率簿划分为两部分：应税物业登记册（Register of Rateable Properties）与税率登记册（Rates Register）。其中前者可采用卡片或活页形式，后者则为寄送予市政税纳税人的税率评估通知书副本。

应税物业登记册用于记录每一处独立物业的相关信息，而税率登记册则用于记载会计核算细节。1963年至1976年的卷宗包含已缴税额明细，而1976/1977年至1984/1985年期间的卷宗则无此类信息。1994年4月移交该档案时，税率簿及其他早期税率记录的存放地点尚未明确。

该系列卷宗共分为四个序列。除缴税额明细外，每个序列包含的信息内容完全一致，但格式存在细微差异。这些序列同时反映了克罗伊登地区行政地位与辖区构成的变迁：具体包括克罗伊登郡（下辖林伍德、箱山、万迪泰、克罗伊登、斯科斯比分区）；克罗伊登市（下辖滕普尔斯特德与博罗尼亚选区、凯西与拉特罗布分区、万迪泰、克罗伊登及克罗伊登西分区）。

该系列每4至5年便会新增一个卷宗序列。每处物业对应一张卡片，用于记录对应序列内开展的物业估值明细。估值工作约每3年开展一次，本系列卷宗覆盖的时间范围为1963/1964年至1985/1986年。每张卡片包含以下部分或全部信息：评估编号、物业编号、选区名称、物业描述、业主/使用人姓名、一段时期内的年度缴税额明细、物业估值。部分卡片的业主信息旁还会标注交易日期与成交价。
