Darlington Assessment Book, 1866-1868

Description

Unique IDAS-0612Start dateBetween 1st January 1866 and 31st December 1868Start date qualifiercircaFormatVolume - Leather BoundDescriptionThe volume in this series recorded data about property assessments, including details of ownership, occupation, construction, and value for buildings in Darlington Municipal Council between 1866 and 1868.

As with the Assessment Books compiled by the City of Sydney Council, this volume was a record of basic information about each property in Darlington on which rates were payable (local government property tax). The information was used to assess the values of properties so that the appropriate amount of rates could be levied, and to keep track of the person in effective possession of the property and/or liable to pay the rates.

Information recorded in the Darlington Assessment Book included: name of occupier; name of lessor/landlord; name of owner/agent; situation (= address) of the property; description of the property (eg 'house'); assessment details.

The Assessment Books are sometimes mistakenly referred to as Rate Books. The Rate Books record far less information, usually only the name of the ratepayer and the details of rates paid. Other Councils sometimes operated combined Rate and Assessment Books but Sydney City Council and Darlington Municipal Council kept them separately.
