City provides options to help with Rate payments

The City of Armadale is one of the only local governments in WA that provides residents with an option to pay their Council Rates in weekly, fortnightly and monthly payments, reducing the stress of lump sum payments.

“A Smarter Way to Pay is a unique direct debit payment system that provides residents with flexible payment options when it comes to Rates time,” said Armadale Mayor Henry Zelones OAM, JP.

“Any ratepayer can sign up to A Smarter Way to Pay. Give the City a call and the Rates team will customise a payment package specifically for your budget and review your plan every year, ensuring you never fall behind.

“This payment plan also provides residents with the opportunity to tailor payments to a time that suits them – you can sign up for fortnightly direct debits in time with your pay cycle and never worry about missing the due date.

“There are also no fees or charges associated with A Smarter Way to Pay when you sign up for two years. This is by far the most cost effective option for those looking to find a more budget friendly payment system.

“As a ratepayer I know I am fortunate enough to be part of a Council that goes out of its way to provide flexible payment options for their ratepayers,” he said.
