Pay Your Rates

A ratepayer may elect to pay rates in full or in four instalments by simply paying the exact amount stated on the Rate notice by the due date.

Payment in full or the first instalment must be paid within 35 days of the issue of the rate notice.

A late payment interest charge (as adopted by Council annually) will apply to any amount that is overdue 36 days after the rate notice is issued. The late payment interest charge is calculated daily on the balance due.

Instalment administration fees and interest charges are applicable to ratepayers who elect to use the instalment plan. The fee is incurred to cover the cost of additional work in administering the instalment plan.

Formal procedures for the collection of unpaid rates, including prosecution where necessary, apply where ratepayers do not meet their obligations.

 You may choose from several payment options:

  • Payment in full by the due date stated on the Rate notice
  • Pay in four (4) instalments:

    • 1st instalment by due date on Rate notice;
    • 2nd instalment by due date on Rate notice;
    • 3rd instalment by due date on Rate notice; and
    • 4th instalment by due date on Rate notice.

Payment of the first Instalment must include all arrears outstanding from previous years.  Failure to pay the arrears voids the instalment option.
