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 21 May 2026 for Sale of Land process to commence for 2026.

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.
