Rates

What it means to be a Ratepayer

Being a property owner in the City of Mandurah requires the payment of rates each year. Your rates provide Council with the revenue needed to manage all the services and facilities which make Mandurah a vibrant and attractive city to live in.

Each financial year – as our City’s needs change – a new budget is prepared to support the needs of the entire community. It is in this section you will read how your rates contribute to the many initiatives planned for the financial year.

Rates are issued by the City each financial year.  Your rate notice will be mailed to you in August each year.

Having your say on proposed rates

Each year, Council advertises and encourages feedback on its plans for the future. Council also advertises for comment on/about its proposed differential rates from the annual budgeting process. Ratepayers are encouraged to take the opportunity to study and comment on these important documents as both have implications on the rates imposed and services provided.
