Pay by special arrangement

The City of South Perth understands that sometimes people experience financial hardship which makes it difficult to meet all financial commitments when they are due. We are happy to work with you to develop a mutually acceptable payment arrangement.

Please contact the City's Rates Officers on 9474 0777 to discuss your options. You will be asked to complete a Rates Payment Arrangement Application and submit this to the City before the special arrangement can be approved.

Please note that this option will also incur an Administration Fee of $33.
