Pay your rates on time and save $

It may be stuck on your fridge, stashed in a drawer or waiting for you online. Wherever your rates notice is, just remember to pay by February 23 to ensure you receive the 'on-time' discount.

Council's on-time payment discount gives property owners a 5% reduction off their general rate, up to $100 every six months.

Your rates ensure council can continue to build a healthy, smart, creative Sunshine Coast while also delivering the core services which continue to grow and support a strong community.

You can also sign up to MyCouncil on council's website. MyCouncil, offers an online dashboard which allows residents and ratepayers to view their property, rates and animal details, make requests, update details and make payments.

There is still a range of convenient payment options available, including BPAY, by phone on 131 816, in person at Australia Post, at one of council's customer contact centres or by mail.

Council also has a direct debit option, which can be set up to pay rates in full by the due date, to make life easier for busy ratepayers.

To assist with online or over-the-phone payments, property owners will need their payment reference number, found on their rates notice.

Ratepayers who cannot make payment by the due date are encouraged to enter into an arrangement to pay their current rates by instalments by logging into MyCouncil or by calling council's customer contact centre.
