Last day to pay rates reminder

The final payment date for the first 2026/2027 rates instalment is Friday, 11 September.

Overdue payments incur a 10 per cent penalty. Ratepayers who pay by direct debit never miss a rates payment or incur penalties. It is the easiest and most flexible way to pay. You choose how often you pay and on which day of the week the payment is taken from your account.

You can also go paperless and receive your rate invoices by email on the day they are sent -sign up for online invoices.

If you would like to know more about paying rates by direct debit go to Councils website.
