Property rates and payment options
Rates are a charge against a property (rating unit), based on the rateable capital value of the property and what the property is used for. Rates are invoiced in four instalments per year during August, November, February and May. We provide a number of different payment options including online credit card payments, direct debit and automatic payments as well as other standard methods.
