All Freetonians have a role to play in the transformation of our city
Payment of property tax by all is a crucial foundation for Freetown’s transformation. Revenues will be used to fund critical public services across the city – from building a sustainable waste management system to improving the city’s road infrastructure.
Annually, all property owners are required to pay tax and each should receive a rate demand notice detailing payment amounts. Payments must be made to the bank and can be paid in up to three installments:
Payment deadline: 30th September
In cases of non-payment, Freetown City Council will take action through penalties, court hearings and potential seizure of property.
If you have not received a rate demand notice by 1st September or would like to make any other enquiry, please visit us at the council, contact us on +232 76 404 979 or fill out a form below.
