The 2026-27 average residential rate

This is an average across every residential property in the Bogan Council area, not a fixed charge. Individual bills track land value, so a house on a larger or more valuable block pays more than $355 and a unit usually pays less. The IPART peg caps how much a council can raise in total rates income, not what any single property pays.
