How are my rates calculated?

• Rates are calculated by multiplying a property’s Gross Rental Value (GRV) by the rate in the dollar set by the City Council. Please see above table for the 2025/26 rate in the dollars. These amounts are subject to a minimum payment which is also set each year by the Council. The 2025/26 minimum rate is $1,1125,00

• Gross Rental Value (GRV) is the fair rental value of your property, as determined by the Valuer General’s Office (part of Landgate) and is an estimate of how much you could expect to receive if you were to rent your property. To learn more about GRV, visit the Landgate website.

• Each property is individually assessed by the Valuer Generals Office once every three years, to determine its GRV. This year, 2025/26 GRV's are based on rental figures as at 1 August 2021.

Gross Rental Value = The yearly rent the property would be expected to receive if rented. The City of Canning then sets the Rate in the Dollar that it will charge to maintain the City's services.

Rate in the Dollar = The rates charged per dollar of Gross Rental Value. A combination of the two will result in your rates charges. The rate in the dollar is shown in the top right-hand corner of your rate notice.
