Pay your Rates in Advance

Are you aware that you can pay your rates in advance? Why not eliminate the burden of a lump sum payment by making regular advance payments towards your rates account using one of Council's payment methods below.

All payments received prior to the issuing of rates will appear on the Rates Notice as 'Prepayments or Credits B/F(brought forward)' and will be deducted off the total rates balance for the period.

Please note that Council does not pay you interest on your account if it is in credit.

Payment Methods for Rates and Charges

Council offers a range of payment options to enable property owners to pay their Council issued Rates Notice(s) quickly and easily.

Payment methods can also be found on the back page of your Rate Notice along with your reference number for allocation of payment to the correct property. Refer to the example of the front & back of the Rate Notice below for assistance in locating your payment reference number.
