BALONNE SHIRE COUNCIL RATES ISSUED THIS WEEK
A half-yearly rates notice for landholders in the Balonne Shire will be issued this week. Mayor Samantha O’Toole said the rates notice will be issued on Wednesday (February 16).
“The rates notice includes a 10 per cent discount if full payment is made within 30 days,” Mayor O’Toole said. “The discount period will expire at the close of business on March 18.”
Mayor O’Toole said landholders who have signed up to Round 1 of the Wild Dog Exclusion Fencing Special Rate Scheme will notice their first payment due on the February rates notice.
Mayor O’Toole said that Council levies rates in February and August each year. If someone has changed their contact details, they can complete a change-of-address form available on the Council’s website at change-of-address-for-rates-notices
“Council also offers electronic distribution of rates notices via email. Our customer administration centre can help property-owners locate the change of address form that must be completed and signed, with your rates assessment numbers to help us match email addresses to the correct property. Telephone Council on 4620 8888.”
“Also, people are able to enter into a payment plan with Council to pay their rates over a period of time. No interest charges are applied if the payment plan is adhered to.”
