2025 Rates Notices.

Maranoa residents are encouraged to keep an eye on their mailboxes with rate notices being issued to ratepayers on Wednesday, 5 February.

The rate notices cover the current half-year period, from 1 January to 30 June 2025.

Rate notices have been issued to residents at their last known address, and if they do not receive them, they should contact Council to ensure they receive it without delay.

To receive the prompt payment discount of 5% on the general rates charged, the total rates and charges owing (including any arrears), must be paid in full on or before Friday, 7 March 2025.

To help them receive their notices more quickly, residents can register to receive their rates via email by completing a ‘Request to Receive Rates Notices Electronically’ form available on Council’s website.

Ratepayers are reminded to account for potential delays when making payments via electronic means or mail to avoid missing the discount.

To ensure eligibility for the prompt payment discount it is advised that electronic payments be made well in advance of the due date.

For ease and convenience, the following payment methods are available:

  • In person – cash, cheque, money order, EFTPOS, Visa or Mastercard at any Maranoa Regional Council Customer Service Centre
  • In person – at any Australia Post office
  • Online via BPay
  • Online via Council’s secure payment portal using your credit card. Visit www.maranoa.qld.gov.au and click the Make a Payment tab
  • By phone to Council – call 1300 007 662
  • By phone to Australia Post – 13 18 16
  • By mail – PO Box 620, Roma Qld 4455
  • By Australia Post – Billpay

Residents experiencing financial hardship who are unable to pay the rates in full by the due date may apply to Council for a payment arrangement to pay rates in smaller, regular instalments.

The prompt payment discount does not apply to this option.

Ratepayers who have not received their rate notice within seven business days of 5 February are encouraged to contact Council to request a copy on 1300 007 662.
