Dated versions never change. ## Query The query API returns only the rows you ask for, as JSON, NDJSON or CSV, from the same typed rows as the files. It needs no key. Rows: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/vic-land-tax-by-municipality/rows. Counts and sums: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/vic-land-tax-by-municipality/aggregate. - Rows: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/vic-land-tax-by-municipality/rows?municipality=neq.TOTAL&limit=5 - Aggregate: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/vic-land-tax-by-municipality/aggregate?group=municipality&metric=sum.total_proportionate_tax&municipality=neq.TOTAL Each filter is `field=operator.value` in the query string, and every filter must match. A number or date field compares as a number or date, and a text field compares as text. Values are case-sensitive except with `ilike`. Prefix `not.` to negate a filter, as `not.eq.value`. Operators: `eq.value`, `neq.value`, `gt.value`, `gte.value`, `lt.value`, `lte.value`, `like.*text*`, `ilike.*text*`, `in.(a,b,c)`, `is.null`. - `select`: Fields to return, comma-separated. Every field when absent. - `order`: `field.asc` or `field.desc`, comma-separated. The publisher's row order when absent. - `limit`: Rows per page, 1 to 10,000. 100 when absent. - `offset`: Rows to skip. The `next` URL in each answer sets it for you. - `group`: On `aggregate`, fields to group by, comma-separated. - `metric`: On `aggregate`, `count`, `sum.field`, `avg.field`, `min.field` or `max.field`, comma-separated. `count` when absent. - `format`: `json`, `ndjson` or `csv`. JSON carries the provenance header, and the others carry it in response headers. Without a version the API answers from the newest loaded version, and that answer changes when the publisher releases again. Put `versions//` before `rows` or `aggregate` for an answer that never changes. `/api/v1/datasets//versions` lists the loaded versions. The API allows 60 requests in 10 seconds from one address. Above that it answers 429 for 10 seconds with a `Retry-After` header, a `RateLimit-Policy` header and a JSON body that gives the limit. Every API answer carries the same `RateLimit-Policy`. A client should wait the `Retry-After` seconds, or read the files, which have no limit.

The current version covers the years since 2024. Each release from SRO becomes a new dated version here, and earlier versions stay online. ### How often is Land tax by municipality, Victoria updated? SRO releases it yearly. This site checks the portal every week and adds a dated version when the file changes. ### Can I use Land tax by municipality, Victoria commercially? Yes. CC BY 4.0 allows commercial use, redistribution and derived works as long as the attribution is kept. The attribution string is in this page's side column and inside every file. ### Is this the official source for Land tax by municipality, Victoria? No. The publisher is State Revenue Office Victoria, and its page is https://discover.data.vic.gov.au/dataset/land-tax-by-municipality-2024. This site republishes the publisher's file without changing its content. The original sits beside every version as source.csv with its SHA-256, so the two can be compared. ### What does each row hold? One of Victoria's 79 municipalities in the 2024 land tax year, with the number of properties assessed for land tax, their total unimproved value, the land tax apportioned to them and that tax as a percentage of the state's land tax. The last row is the publisher's total for Victoria. ### What is proportionate tax? Land tax is assessed on an owner's total holdings, so an owner with land in several municipalities pays one amount. The State Revenue Office apportions that amount across the municipalities in proportion to the land's value, and the column holds the apportioned sum in dollars. ### Where are other years? The State Revenue Office publishes each year as its own dataset, and this entry holds the 2024 file. Earlier years have their own records on the Victorian portal. ## What this site did to the data Cells were typed, headers were renamed to snake_case and the encoding was made UTF-8. Rows were left alone. Nothing is derived. The publisher's file is beside every version as `source.csv`. ## Improve this dataset This page is built from [register/vic-land-tax-by-municipality.yaml](https://github.com/National-Digital/publicdata.au/blob/main/register/vic-land-tax-by-municipality.yaml) on GitHub, and a fix to it is welcome as a pull request. https://publicdata.au/contribute/ explains how.
