We introduce the notion of valuation of a dense near polygon. The valuations of a dense near polygon $F$ describe the possible relations between a point of a dense near polygon $\cS$ and any geodetically closed sub near polygon of $\cS$ isomorphic to $F$. Several nice properties of valuations are given and several classes of these objects are defined. Valuations are an important tool for classifying dense near polygons.
