How your rates are calculated
How are my rates calculated?
To meet the rate cap of 3.5% for 2023–2024 Council has set a rate in the dollar of 0.3040 cents for general rate properties.
This figure is then multiplied by the Capital Improved Value (CIV) of each property to determine how much the property owner will pay.
An example of the general rates calculation for a residential property in Maryborough with a valuation of $300,000 would be: $300,000 × $0.003040 = $912.00 (excluding waste charges, the municipal charge and the Fire Services Property Levy)
