Your rates are calculated based on your property’s value. Landgate independently values your property every three to for years. You rates will vary according to the Gross Rental Valuation (GRV) set by Landgate through the Valuer General’s Office. Rates make up about 32% of council revenue. The amount to be collected from rates is the balance of the Council’s expenditure requirement, less other revenues from fees, charges, grants, borrowings and transfers. Once the council determines expenditure, we set a rate in the dollar to be levied against all properties.
