Sale of land for rates arrears

Council can recover outstanding rates on properties that are more than three years in arrears.

The provisions within the Local Government Regulation 2012 empower council to make a resolution to a sell property.  This applies to properties where rates or charges are in arrears for a period greater than three (3) years. The outstanding rates are recovered by the sale of the land or property.

Resolution was passed at Council’s Ordinary Meeting on 30 May 2024 for the Sale of Land process to commence for 2024.

This process is conducted annually. Council must end the Sale of Land process if:

  • the amount of the overdue rates or charges, and
  • all expenses that council incurs in attempting to sell the land are both paid in full.

Inspecting the properties

You are not able to inspect the properties before the auction.

Council is unable to authorise inspections of the properties and cannot grant access to the properties. Please respect the privacy of any residents that may be living at a property.

The conditions of sale are drawn to the attention of all potential buyers as detailed at the link below.

Please note property owners still have an opportunity to pay the overdue rates and all expenses prior to the commencement of the auction.
