Act now to save on rates Property owners have one week left to take advantage of Council’s 10% early bird discount on rates. The 10% discount for ratepayers and 30% discount for pensioners will end on Wednesday April 15. Acting Chief Executive Officer Graham Webb is encouraging ratepayers to take advantage of the discounts by making sure payment is received by Council on or prior to the discount date. “Some financial institutions can take up to three working days to process an electronic payment, so please check with your bank or credit union to ensure your payment is received by Council in time to secure your discount,” he said. “General rates contribute to the cost of vital community services in the region, including public facilities, environmental health, local roads, footpaths, bikeways, and much more.” Ratepayers are advised that Council rates and charges that remain unpaid after Wednesday April 15, 2015 will incur 11% interest, compounded daily.
To help with your online or over-the-phone payments please have your rates notice handy. Ratepayers who cannot make payment by the due date can apply to be considered for a payment arrangement. Application forms are available from your local Council office or via www. isaac.qld.gov.au Ratepayers can make enquiries with Isaac Regional Council’s rating team by phoning 1300 ISAACS (1300 47 22 27) or email records@isaac.qld.gov.au
