Notify us of a property purchase
When a property is purchased or ownership transferred, we need to be told. Find out how to notify us and the State Revenue Office.
You need to tell us if you buy a property, transfer ownership or change your address.
Buying a property
Your solicitor needs to send Council a completed Notice of Acquisition form when you purchase a property in Port Phillip.
This helps us to keep track of who owns each property in Port Phillip.
The State Revenue Office must be informed within 28 days to work out land transfer duty (or stamp duty).
To submit the Notice of Aquisition electronically

Or - submit the notice with your request on My Port Phillip.
