Did you know you can also pay by direct debit? See options below:

• Direct debit from your bank account: Direct debit can be used to pay your rates in smaller more manageable payments. A direct debit is from a nominated bank account either weekly, fortnightly or monthly. Direct debits always occur on a Thursday.
• Direct debit from your credit card: This is similar to a direct debit, but you nominate the day of the week for the deduction to occur either weekly, fortnightly or monthly. Please contact the Shire of Harvey Rates team to discuss. 

To arrange a direct debit please complete and submit the form below.

Experiencing payment difficulties?

If you are experiencing difficulty in paying rates please contact us as soon as possible, to discuss alternative arrangements.

Important notes:

• Penalty interest (7% pa calculated daily) will apply to any amount that is outstanding 36 days after the rates notice is issued.
• If rating arrears, full payment or overdue instalments remain unpaid and a regular payment arrangement has not been arranged then legal action may be taken to recover these rating debts.
