Receiving your rates
Rates notices are sent out by post, or residents may choose to receive their rates notice by email or electronically through BPAY View.
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.
BPAY View sends rates and overdue notices straight to the same online bank that you use to pay them and provides notifications, reminders and secure online access, simply:
- Log into your internet or mobile banking
- Look for the BPAY View or View Bills section
- Register to receive your City of Playford rates notice
NB: Once registered, paper notices will no longer be issued.
To find out more about BPAY View visit their website.

Please note - you can only view properties if you are the current ratepayer. If you have sold a property, you will no longer be able to view rates notices for that property. Please make sure you save any required rates notices before property settlement.
If you have a Property Manager, your request for digital delivery of rates notices will override mail delivery to the Property Manager. We advise you to notify your Property Manager of this change.
If you wish to continue to receive your notices in the mail, you don't need to do anything.
