Rates due 27 October - pay early and receive a 10% discount on general rates

Keep an eye on your letterbox with rates notices set to arrive from Monday, 27 September 2021.

Prompt payment of rates will secure a 10 per cent discount on general rates, if paid before Wednesday, 27 October 2021.

The 10 per cent discount applies to general rates, and excludes all utility, special rates and charges, provided outstanding amounts and overdue rates and interest are paid in full by the due date.

Ratepayers who have encountered delays with the postal service in their area can register their email address with Council for an additional rates notice to be issued electronically.

If you have recently moved or changed your contact details, please check that you have informed Council to ensure delivery of rates notices on time.

Council stood up last year in the face of COVID-19 uncertainty and froze rates and levies for residential and rural ratepayers while continuing to support the local economy through tough economic times.

Significant work has been done to keep the overall rates increase for 2021/22 to 2.4%, following on from the rates freeze for residential and rural properties last year.

Council have reduced the cent in the dollar for general rates to offset some big increases to land values, in particular agricultural land values, as a result of Queensland Government land valuations.

If you have not received your rates notice by Friday, 8 October 2021 please contact Council.

Ratepayers can register their details for electronic notices by phoning 1300 ISAACS (1300 472 227) and speaking to Council’s Rates Team, or emailing [email protected] between 8.30am to 5pm Monday to Friday.
