If an arrangement is not made, and full payment of rates is not received by the date shown on the rates notice, the overdue rates will attract interest compounded daily and could result in legal action being taken.

Please note that if an overdue rate has remained unpaid for three years (or for a mining claim, three months), Redland City Council can sell the property to recover outstanding rates.
