All land within the Council area is rateable, except for specific exclusions outlined in Section 147 of the Local Government Act 1999.
The Local Government Act allows Councils to raise revenue for their general operations through a general rate applied to all rateable properties, or through differential general rates applied to specific classes of properties. Councils may also generate revenue through various fees and charges.
The District Council of Cleve currently uses Capital Value as the basis for valuing properties, with differential rates applied based on land use classifications.
