What happens if my Rates are not paid by 30th June 2025?

If you are unable to pay rates by 30th June 25 don’t panic - contact Rates Officer to discuss an acceptable payment arrangement.

Communication is the key.

·       Where there is a mortgage on the property, under Section 62 (1) of the Local Government (Rating) Act 2002, provides for Councils to recover rates owing from the Mortgagee i.e. lending institution.

·       Forward the account to our Debt Collection agency for collection, which may impact on your Credit Rating
