How to pay
When to pay
Rates notices are sent out by post or email.
You can pay your rates in four instalments. The due dates are the same each year.
- 30 September
- 30 November
- 28 February
- 31 May
When a due date for an instalment falls on a public holiday or weekend, you have until the next business day to pay.
You can also pay an instalment in smaller payment amounts (for example, fortnightly or monthly) as long as the full instalment amount is paid by the due date.
Interest for overdue rates
Amounts not paid by the due date shown on your rate notice may be charged interest at the rate set by the Minister for Local Government, or at the interest rate set under the Penalty Interest Act 1983 where the Minister has not yet declared a penalty interest rate.
