Sunshine Coast Council

Council offers you a number of convenient ways to pay your rates. You can also receive your rates notice by email.

Online

Go to MyCouncil to pay your rates online using Visa or MasterCard. If you sign up or log in to MyCouncil you can also apply to make an arrangement to pay your rates.

You will need your reference number and the amount payable.

Credit card by phone

Phone 131 816 and follow the prompts. You will need the Billpay code and your reference number. Please refer to your rates notice under 'Payment Options'. Council accepts both MasterCard and Visa.

BPAY is a national service that allows you to pay bills by telephone or internet banking. Call or log on to your bank to make a payment. Please quote the BPay details on your rates notice payment slip.

Note: To receive the discount, you must pay before your bank's cut off time on the due date. Contact your bank to find out this time.

Direct debit

A direct debit is when you authorise council to take money from your bank account. This is often used to make regular payments and to: 

• pay money off overdue rates
• prepay rates
• or pay rates in full by the due date.

If you sign up or log in to MyCouncil you can organise your direct debit payment online. Terms and conditions apply to all arrangements. No interest is charged on your current rates if you pay by instalments.
