Rates
Your rates bill is made up of general rates and other charges.
Both general rates and Fire Protection Service Charge are based on each rateable property’s valuation. The valuation that Council uses to calculate rates is the ‘Assessed Annual Value’ (AAV) of the property. The AAV is determined by the Tasmanian Valuer General and is based on the estimate annual income the owner would obtain from renting the property.
The items in your rates bill include:
- General Rates
- Fire Protection Service Charge
- Waste Management Service Charge - Waste Management FAQs
- Variable Waste Management Service Charge (for properties with curbside bin collection service)
- Tasmanian Government Landfill Levy
Rates payments are payable at the beginning of each financial year. Instalments are due four times a year.
