                                          Principal Place of Residence Declaration Form



Definition of Principal Place of Residence
“Principal place of residence” is defined as a residential dwelling or unit where at least one owner permanently
resides on the property and the owner can verify this status. The full definition can be found on council’s
website at www.noosa.qld.gov.au.
If your property meets the definition of “Principal place of residence” please sign the declaration below and
return it to council with copies of any two of the following documents indicating your residency at the property
from the period of occupancy:
    A telephone or electricity account in owner/s name, addressed to the property
    Confirmation of electoral enrolment with a current date of lodgement
    Other legal documentation to confirm your current residency at the dwelling or unit
    Current Drivers Licence showing dwelling or unit address
    * If your postal address is a PO Box the document must include the property address.
Upon receipt of the signed declaration and accompanying documentation council will review the Differential
General Rate Category.

5. Information
Adjustments will only be made within the current rate period. It is the owners’ responsibility to check that all rates
and charges are correct at the time of issue of the rate notice. Adjustments will not be made for prior financial
years where a property has been categorised as not a principal place of residence and the owner/s have not
provided a declaration that the property is their principal place of residence.
Please pay the net amount shown on your rate notice by the due date unless you receive written notification
from council of a category adjustment.
Ongoing checks are made by authorised Council Officers to maintain the accuracy of council’s records.
