When to pay council rate, water rate and land tax for unregi

Page 1 of 1
Hi All,
I am planning to buy a land which is unregistered, due to be registered next year. I just figured out that we need to pay the stamp duty of the land purchase price within 3 months of exchange of contract.

I am trying to figure out do we need to pay the following rates this year evn though the land is not registered and will tale a while to get the title next year:
1. Council rate fees
2. Water rate
3. Land tax

Or do I pay them after final registration and settlement on the land?
TIA
In Victoria all of these things are paid at settlement.

the exemption applies only to your principal place of residence - so you must live in it. The 200 days is continuous. You also have to apply for the exemption.
