To meet the rate cap of 2.75% for 2026–2027 Council has set a rate in the dollar of 0.3408 cents for Maryborough residential 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 × $0.003408 = $1022.40 (excluding waste charges, the municipal charge and the Emergency Services and Volunteers Fund).
The Shire has seven differential rates as shown in the table below:
