Instead of receiving paper copies of rates and water notices, ratepayers are encouraged to register their email address and ‘opt in’ to receive notices electronically – an email with a link to an Adobe PDF.
Electronic delivery is quicker, environmentally friendly and more cost-effective and convenient.
It’s easy to opt in. Complete the change of address fields on the back of your rates notice and return to Council, or complete the below Change of Address form. You will need a copy of your rates or water notice to enter some details to verify the property details. If you own more than one property in the Upper Hunter Shire you just fill in a form for each property you want to receive emailed notices for.
