How are your Rates Calculated?

Local Authority Rates are based upon the Gross Rental Value (GRV) and Unimproved Values (UV) determined by the Valuer Generals Office. Rates are calculated by multiplying the properties GRV and UV by the applicable rate in the dollar, set by council.

If you believe your property has been incorrectly valued you may lodge an objection against the valuation of a property within 60 days of the date of issue of a Rates Notice.  For information on how your values are calculated and how to lodge an objection, please visit Landgate’s website : www.landgate.wa.gov.au/valuations , or alternatively call Customer Service team on 61+ (0)8 9273 7373 

Who Pays Council Rates?

Rates are the responsibility of the current owner of the property. New owners and those transferring ownership do have a legal responsibility to inform the Shire when a change in ownership or address occurs
