Ratepayers in Greater Geraldton are reminded that rates notices will be issued in the coming week.
As part of the City of Greater Geraldton’s rates relief package which was adopted by Council, ratepayers who pay their rates in full by the due date will receive a 5% discount.
The 2020/21 rates relief package is outlined as follows:
- 5% discount on rates paid by the due date
- No increase to the rate in the dollar
- 0% instalment interest
- No instalment charges
- 0% rates penalty interest until fourth instalment due date then reduced rate of 8%.
The 5% discount on rates is for those paid in full by 24 August 2020 - 35 days after issue of notice, or in the case of pensioners if the relevant portion of rates levied is paid by 24 August 2020. Payment must be in full and include any arrears. The discount does not apply to the separate rubbish charge or the Emergency Services Levy.
Ratepayers are also advised they can now register for eRates. This means you can go paperless and receive rates notices via email. To sign up for eRates, head to https://erateswa.com/greatergeraldton/
