| Rate notices are sent to property owners each year in late August or early September to cover the financial year from 1 July to 30 June.
The following information explains how rates are calculated depending on the type of property you own.
The Capital Improved Value (CIV) of a property is used to calculate the rate amount to be paid. Not all properties are rated the same as they have different uses, which is why your property type determines the differential rate that will apply to you.
Rates are calculated by multiplying the valuation (CIV) by the differential rate in the dollar. For example:
House and land valued at $300,000 on a general rate
= $300,000 x 0.004090
= $1,227.00
