Rates due 27 October - pay now before rates discount ends

Isaac Regional Council would like to remind residents there is two weeks left to take advantage of the rates discount period.

Ratepayers who make prompt payment on or before Wednesday, 27 October 2021 will receive a 10 per cent discount on general rates.

Some financial institutions take up to three days to process electronic payments. Please check with financial institution to ensure your payment is received by Council in time to secure discount.

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 not received your rates notice, please contact Council.

After Thursday, 28 October 2021, unpaid rates have incurred 8.03 per cent interest per annum, compounded daily.

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.

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.
