What is Valuebill?
Valuebill, one of the National Projects funded by the ODPM, establishes the electronic exchange of information between local authority billing agencies, the Valuation Office Agency (VOA), and the National Land and Property Gazetteer - improving valuation services for citizens and businesses and providing benefits to all aspects of customer-facing work for which accurate property information is crucial. It is also assisting the integration of billing authorities and VOA into the wider land-related initiatives in local and central government.
