Murrumbidgee Council to auction properties for unpaid rates and charge

Murrumbidgee Council is set to auction properties due to unpaid rates and charges. This will take place at the Murrumbidgee Council Jerilderie Office, 35 Jerilderie Street, Jerilderie NSW, on Wednesday 11 June 2025 at 11:00 am.

The auction follows the rules set out in the Local Government Act 1993, which allows councils to sell land when rates have been unpaid for more than one year for vacant land or over five years for other land. 

The total amount owed across all the properties is over $350,000, with some rate payments and charges in arrears for over five years. Elders Rural Deniliquin will run the auction.

Murrumbidgee Council Mayor Ruth McRae OAM said although this is a difficult decision, it is one we must make because unpaid rates and charges are a heavy burden on both the Council and all ratepayers. She emphasised the importance of ensuring all property owners contribute their fair share to the community. 

"We strongly encourage anyone affected to settle their outstanding balances before the auction date to avoid the sale of their property,” she said.

The auction will be widely advertised through local newspapers, the online Local Government Gazette, Council’s website, Council’s digital communication channels and community social media pages. Registered letters will also be sent to anyone who might have an interest in the properties and notices will be placed at the properties themselves.

For more details about the auction or specific properties, please contact Murrumbidgee Council 1300 676 243 or visit the Murrumbidgee Council website.
