From 1 July 2025, the emergency services and volunteers fund has replaced the fire services property levy.
https://www.sro.vic.gov.au/emergency-services-and-volunteers-fund
Property owners contribute, via council rates, to support emergency and disaster response services.
The emergency services and volunteers fund (ESVF) will be collected by local councils and appear on your council rates notice. It will replace the fire services property levy (FSPL).
We monitor the performance of councils as they collect the ESVF on behalf of the Victorian Government.
Changes commencing 1 July 2025
From 1 July 2025, the ESVF replaced the FSPL.
The ESVF will support the vital work of a broader range of emergency services that respond to fires, floods, storms and other emergencies, including:
Victoria State Emergency Service (VICSES)
Triple Zero Victoria
Emergency Management Victoria
Forest Fire Management Victoria
State Control Centre
Emergency Recovery Victoria.
The ESVF will continue to fund Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) and Country Fire Authority (CFA).
Other changes to the levy include:
changing the name of the fire services property levy to the emergency services and volunteers fund to account for funding a broader range of emergency services
introducing a rebate scheme for eligible CFA and VICSES volunteers for their principal place of residence (PPR) or farm. The Treasurer has also declared that volunteers with Shepparton Search and Rescue Squad are eligible for the volunteers rebate
abolishing the vacant land category, with vacant land being allocated to its corresponding land use sector
from 1 July 2026, a new property classification will be introduced for residential PPR, and non-PPR residential properties will be charged the non-residential fixed charge.
Key features of the levy remain the same. The ESVF continues to be calculated based on a fixed charge that varies by property type, and a variable charge based on property type and value. Existing concessions also continue to apply.
Watch our video to learn more about ESVF.
Department of Government Services' ESVF support line
For general enquiries regarding the fund call the ESVF support line at 1300 819 033. All rates notice queries should be directed to your local council. For questions about the volunteers rebate scheme, please visit vic.gov.au/evrs.
How is ESVF calculated?
The ESVF is calculated using the following formula:
ESVF = fixed charge + variable charge – concession (if eligible) - rebate or other relief (if applicable)
Fixed charge
The fixed charge is based on the property’s classification. The fixed charge increases annually based on the consumer price index.
Property classification
The property classification describes the primary use of your land. Each classification has its own rate. There are 5 property classifications for ESVF purposes:
Residential.
Commercial.
Industrial (also includes infrastructure and extractive properties).
Primary production.
Public benefit.
The property classification of your land appears on your rates notice or the levy assessment notice issued to non-rateable property owners.
Variable charge
The variable charge is based on the property’s capital improved value (CIV). The variable rate depends on the property's classification and is multiplied by the CIV.
Variable charge = variable rate × CIV
Capital improved value
The CIV is the value of your land, buildings and any other capital improvements made to the property. It is determined by the general valuation process and displayed on your council rates notice.
