Rating certificates

Rating certificates are also referred to as Section 603 certificates. This is because they are issued under Section 603 of the Local Government Act 1993.

As part of a rating certificate, Council will specify whether there are any outstanding rates, charges and debts payable to Council in respect of a particular property. Further information on rating certificates can be found below
