Council goes through a rigorous process to calculate council rates each year. To understand this process, information outlining rates and how they are determined is outlined in our Annual Business Plans every year.

Our Council Rates Calculator will help you estimate your annual rates: www.playford.sa.gov.au/rates-calculator

To have your rates notice delivered to your device or computer go to Digital Rates Request form and follow the steps.

Remember to have your Assessment Number handy. This can be found on the top right hand corner of your rates notice.

Please note – first electronic delivery of rates notices will occur in April 2020. Depending on the date you register, you may still receive one final paper notice before email delivery commences.

1. Log into your internet or mobile banking
