Council Rates
In South Australia, council rates are a form of property tax levied by Local Government, as the primary source of funding for the many mandatory and discretionary services that are provided by council. Rates are administered by each council in line with the Loal Government Act 1999 (The Act) which allows some flexibility for each council to make decisions that suit its local community.
