Payment Dates

The rating year is from 1 July to 30 June. We issue annual rate notices each year in August and payment is by four equal Instalments or one lump sum (full payment).

Option 1: Payment in full

The due date for full payment of your rates notice for the 2025/2026 rating year is on or before 16 February 2026. 

Option 2: Payment in four quarterly instalments

If you choose to pay your rates by instalments, you must pay the first instalment in full on or before 30 September 2025.

Part payment of the first instalment will not be recognised as an instalment payment.

Any payment received after the initial due date of 30 September will be accepted as a part payment of the total amount due (stated on your Rates & Valuation Notice) which will then be due full payment on or before 16 February 2026.

Remaining instalment amounts must be paid in full by the following dates:

  • 2nd instalment due by: 1 December 2025
  • 3rd instalment due by: 2 March 2026
  • 4th instalment due by: 1 June 2026

There may be an interest charge applied if you miss the due date for paying your rates. Interest on unpaid rates, charges, and levies will be calculated daily from the due date.
