Rates
Rates are property taxes charged by local government on properties in their municipal area.
Rates can cover the payment of a range of services including the running of the Council, roads, bridges, kerbing, parks and gardens, immunisation, libraries, community activities, tree planting and pest eradication.
The price, method of valuation and timing of rates payments is variable across councils. How much you pay depends on the value of your property.
