Brief description
This Series comprises Alienation Notices - Notices of Sale or Transfer of Rateable Land, Dundas Municipal Council, which amalgamated with Parramatta City Council in 1948. Under Section 144 sub-section 10 of the Local Government Act No 56 1906 owners of rateable land were liable for payment or rates until notice of sale or transfer is provided to Council. Section 163 of the 1919 Local Government Act, required a rateable person, trustee executor, administrator, or mortgagee to inform council within one month of the transfer of land ownership. The standard form contains the name and address of the owner; location of the property; measurements; purchase price; date of sale; name and address of purchaser. There are no indexes. Following the 1948 amalgamation, Dundas became a ward of Parramatta and notices for the Dundas Ward were recorded in a combined Parramatta register (PRS106). To find a notice, knowledge of the date the notice was received by Council needs is required - at times noted in the valuation books (PRS13) as "A/N number/year". These records are original and they have not been digitised.
