Council rates are a form of property tax that help fund various local services and infrastructure, such as rubbish collection, road maintenance, parks, libraries, and community programs.

The rates you see on your rates notices are made up of the following calculations:

• valuation of your property
• local government category such as primary production, residential, etc
• the rate in the dollar applied to your valuation
• any fixed charge
• service rates and charges including waste services
• levies Council is required to collect for state government such as Regional Landscape Levy

The Regional Landscape Levy, previously known as the NRM Levy, is a state tax. It's paid by all ratepayers across South Australia to sustain and manage our state’s landscapes for the benefit of all community members.

We're required to collect the Levy from all rateable properties on behalf of the state government under the Landscape South Australia Act 2019. The Levy helps to fund the operations of regional landscape boards who have responsibility for the State’s natural resources.

For further information surrounding the Regional Landscape Levy visit the Northern and Yorke Landscape Board or phone the Yorke and Mid North (Clare) office on 8841 3444.
