Special Payment Plan
These plans were introduced in 2013/14 to allow ratepayers the flexibility to pay their rates weekly/fortnightly/monthly directly from their chosen bank accounts. If you have set one of these up in previous years there is no need to complete paperwork for forthcoming years. The plans are set up in perpetuity and as such will continue until notification is received that you wish to cancel the plan.
If you are already paying by this method, we will work out the yearly plan based around your chosen frequency of payments and your rate liability for the current financial year. We will then send out a confirmation letter so that you are aware of the new commitment for this year.
If you would like to start a payment plan for the first time please contact the administration office and we will arrange to send out the paperwork required. For any further information relating to this service please contact this office.
