As soon as we settled on house, we received another council rate notice based on the valuation of the house & land. Needless to say its more than what we were paying on the land. So don't worry, its council's way of making money...lol. If you still have doubts, call the council and tell them your concern. Hope it helps. Cheers.

Re: TARNEIT- WHERE TO BUILD 144Sep 21, 2009 7:22 pm Thats right as Riffa mentioned, it will increase over time once the house is built and everything else ie. driveway, landscaping, the value of the block will increase therefore expect an increase from the council too! I have friends who pay between $800-$1000 in rates every year due to their value of the property.
