Under the provisions of the Local Government Regulation 2012, Council has the power to make a resolution to sell a property to recover the overdue rates and charges. This applies to properties where rates and charges are in arrears for a period of three (3) years or more. The outstanding rates are recovered by the sale of the land or property at auction.
This process is conducted annually. Council must end the Sale of Land process if:
The South Burnett Regional Council will not be holding a Sale of Land for Overdue Rates and Charges auction in 2026.
All information regarding future Sale of Land for Overdue Rates and Charges auctions will be posted when information becomes available.
