Payment by an instalment option includes additional administration and interest charges as outlined in the annual fees & charges.
The amount of the first instalment includes any arrears which may be outstanding from the previous year/s. The instalment option is not available if arrears and any interest accrued to the date of issue are not included with the first instalment.
An instalment reminder Notice will be issued no less than 28 days before each instalment is due.
Penalty interest charges are calculated daily and will be imposed on rates outstanding more than 35 days after the issue of the rate notice. This also includes instalments not paid by the due date.
Please note: Understanding the pressures of the cost of living faced by many, the Council has introduced fee relief for ratepayers for the 2024/25 rate payments. This initiative allows for instalments on rate payments without interest charges, easing financial burdens and providing much-needed support to our residents.
Please note: Additionally, Alternative Payment Options for owner-occupiers are made available. Please see here for more information.
