Owning or living in a Singapore home between 2027 and 2036 means paying more than a mortgage or rent. The recurring housing ledger includes property tax, service and conservancy charges (S&CC), electricity, water, gas where used, refuse collection, internet, insurance and repairs. The amount due depends on property type and use, actual consumption and government support eligibility. Importantly, U-Save rebates generally offset eligible HDB households’ utilities accounts, while S&CC rebates offset Town Council charges; they are not identical cash payouts.
The most useful 2026 starting point is to separate the bills before comparing grants. IRAS uses a property’s Annual Value (AV), a rental-value assessment, to calculate property tax, with lower progressive rates for qualifying owner-occupied homes. In FY2026, eligible HDB households received a combination of regular and additional U-Save credits, and S&CC rebates according to flat type. Some instalments fall in January 2027, but these FY2026 amounts cannot be projected across every year to 2036. A responsible household checks each new year’s announced benefits and plans a budget that still works when temporary support ends.

Chapter 1 — The true monthly home payment is several bills
A homeowner may describe the cost of housing as ‘the mortgage is $2,000’. Yet the household still consumes water and electricity, pays for common services, maintains the unit and faces annual or irregular charges. A family renting a flat may have a different allocation of those expenses through the lease. A financial plan should reflect the actual cash leaving the household each month, not one large payment that is easiest to remember.
Create an annual housing ledger. Place mortgage or rent, utilities, S&CC or MCST charges, property tax, insurance, broadband, appliance servicing and a repair reserve on separate lines. This reveals which charges are predictable, which depend on consumption and which can change after government announcements or supplier contract renewals.
Chapter 2 — Begin with the exact residential property type
An HDB flat, private apartment and landed home can have different recurring bills even when their occupants have similar incomes. Public housing S&CC is collected by the relevant Town Council, while strata developments collect management contributions through their MCST. Refuse collection arrangements, parking fees, outdoor maintenance and shared facilities also differ. A broad statement about the ‘average Singapore homeowner’ hides these practical differences.
For a proposed purchase or rental, ask for the latest relevant bills and management fee schedule before committing. Use the specific block, unit and household’s likely consumption, not a generic model from another estate. The right comparison is based on how your chosen home works.
Chapter 3 — Annual Value is a rental-value assessment
IRAS defines Annual Value as the estimated gross annual rent of a property if it were rented out, excluding furnishing, furniture and maintenance fees. It does not mean the property’s selling price or the owner’s annual salary. IRAS reviews market rental evidence and updates AV as necessary. A home can therefore face an AV change even if the owner has not moved or refinanced.
Look up the latest AV in myTax Portal or on the property tax bill. For HDB flats, IRAS considers recent rental rates by flat type and area, which means larger or more centrally located units may have a higher AV. The AV is the base used for the progressive property-tax calculation.
Chapter 4 — Owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied tax rates differ
Singapore generally applies lower property-tax rates to qualifying residential property occupied by its owner. A rented-out or otherwise non-owner-occupied residential property uses a different and generally higher progressive schedule. IRAS’s rules allow owner-occupier rates on only one qualifying residential property per owner, and a change in occupancy can affect the tax treatment.
Do not assume a property’s tax bill remains unchanged when the owner moves elsewhere and lets out the unit. The owner should review status and notify IRAS as required. A tenant’s presence does not make the landlord an owner-occupier. Home use and legal ownership both matter to the calculation.
Chapter 5 — The 2025-onward owner-occupier bands
Under the published rates effective from 1 January 2025, the first $12,000 of a qualifying owner-occupied residential property’s AV is taxed at 0%. The next $28,000 is taxed at 4%; subsequent bands attract progressively higher rates. These are marginal bands, meaning the rate for a higher portion does not automatically apply to every dollar of AV.
For example, an owner-occupied flat with an AV of $16,020 has the first $12,000 untaxed and $4,020 taxed at 4%, creating $160.80 before any applicable relief or rebate. This is a transparent illustration using the published schedule, not a promise about a particular 2027 bill. Verify the actual assessed AV and applicable tax year.
Chapter 6 — The non-owner-occupier schedule starts higher
IRAS states that non-owner-occupier residential property tax rates start at 12% of AV under its effective schedule, with higher bands for more expensive rental values. It is unsafe to apply the owner-occupier’s 0% first band to a flat that is fully rented out. Such an error can substantially understate an investor’s recurring expenses.
Property owners considering letting their home should compute the tax difference before setting rent. Include vacancy, repairs, agent fees and insurance as well. The gross rent is not the owner’s disposable profit. A landlord who ignores the property-tax category may make an otherwise plausible rental calculation misleading.
Chapter 7 — A property tax bill is not the same as a stamp duty bill
Property tax is a recurring tax linked to the AV and type of use. Buyer’s Stamp Duty and Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty are associated with qualifying acquisition transactions, while tenancy stamp duty concerns relevant rental agreements. These are different liabilities with different rules, periods and payment processes.
A new homeowner should keep these categories on separate ledger lines. A one-time buyer’s stamp duty payment can be large, but does not pay next year’s property tax. Similarly, an annual property tax rebate does not remove the legal requirement to stamp a qualifying tenancy agreement. Clear labels prevent expensive surprises.
Chapter 8 — Read the year printed on tax rebates
IRAS’s 2026 property-tax bill information describes a one-off rebate for qualifying owner-occupied residential properties in that year, with different treatment for HDB and private homes. A time-limited government measure is not a permanent change to the ordinary tax rate. It should be recorded as a credit applying to the stated year.
When building a 2030 or 2036 budget, use the standard tax framework as the baseline and then add only rebates officially announced for the relevant year. A reader who multiplies a 2026 rebate by ten years invents a benefit that no authority has promised. Fiscal updates are one reason to review the ledger annually.
Chapter 9 — Property tax generally arrives on an annual cycle
Property tax is commonly billed annually, even if payments are arranged through instalments such as GIRO. The timing can create a cashflow problem for households that budget only month-to-month. IRAS offers payment arrangements and digital records, including an extended GIRO instalment scheme for certain eligible retirees.
Divide the expected annual bill by twelve for household planning, but use the actual IRAS due dates and payment schedule when making payments. An instalment plan changes cashflow, not the underlying liability. Keep the official payment reference and do not respond to unsolicited messages claiming immediate tax settlement is needed.
Chapter 10 — S&CC pays for shared HDB estate services
Service and Conservancy Charges support the running and maintenance of HDB estates through the relevant Town Council. They relate to services such as common area cleaning, maintenance and town management, not to the private owner’s mortgage or interior renovation. Rates can differ between Town Councils and flat categories and can change according to council decisions and applicable rules.
Check the current S&CC rate for the actual address rather than using a friend’s payment in another estate. Ask how commercial or mixed property arrangements are billed if relevant. An owner who budgets properly for common services recognises that maintaining a liveable neighbourhood has a recurring cost beyond the individual apartment.
Chapter 11 — S&CC arrears require direct account attention
Town Council S&CC should be paid according to its published schedule. A household receiving a reminder should check the actual account and any penalties or arrears arrangements with the council. Do not assume that future government rebates will automatically erase all accumulated arrears.
Keep the account number and payment history accessible to responsible household members. If earnings have fallen, contact the Town Council early rather than allowing small missed payments to become a serious burden. For families needing wider help with basic living costs, a Social Service Office may be able to assess ComCare assistance separately.
Chapter 12 — What U-Save actually offsets
U-Save is a GST Voucher-related utility rebate for eligible HDB households, credited into the household utilities account with SP Services. It helps offset bills such as electricity, water and the household refuse collection charge. It is not generally a cash transfer that a household can withdraw or spend on groceries.
An eligible resident should look at the utility bill’s rebates or credits to see how the benefit is applied. Unused credits can roll forward to offset later bills. When comparing two household budgets, avoid counting the same U-Save as both cash income and a lower utility bill. Doing so exaggerates the assistance.
Chapter 13 — S&CC rebates go to a different account
Service and Conservancy Charges rebates are credited toward the household’s Town Council S&CC account rather than to the utilities account. The scheme’s eligibility is not identical to U-Save, so a household should confirm each benefit separately. For FY2026, MOF published a schedule of S&CC rebates by flat category and quarter.
Use MyHDB or the official Town Council statement to see actual credits. A family that expects a ‘free month’ should check when the rebate is applied and whether other outstanding charges remain. A rebate reduces a particular liability; it does not necessarily erase every debt owed to the council.
Chapter 14 — FY2026 U-Save does not equal FY2027 policy
MOF’s September 2026 announcement indicated eligible households would receive up to $760 of U-Save across FY2026, including temporary additional support, with the last disbursement in January 2027. Different flat types received different totals. The announcement combined regular and extra credits, so quoting the highest figure without its year and eligibility is misleading.
A household budgeting from February 2027 forward should not assume it will receive the same double benefit every subsequent financial year. Record the FY2026 amount under its correct fiscal period, then revisit the next Budget and GovBenefits pages. Future economic conditions and policy choices can change support.
Chapter 15 — U-Save eligibility depends on household circumstances
MOF’s rules consider Singapore Citizen residence and whether owners, essential occupiers or tenants have interests in more than one property. A flat that is fully rented out can have different treatment from one in which the owner continues living. Households with multiple-property interests may be ineligible.
Never assume flat size alone determines eligibility. If household membership changes, ask how that affects the credits. The best evidence is the applicable GovBenefits and SP account information rather than an agent’s promise that a particular resale flat comes ‘with grants’ regardless of who moves in.
Chapter 16 — S&CC eligibility has its own limits
MOF’s FY2026 S&CC rebate information includes conditions concerning Singaporean owners or occupiers, private property interests and whole-flat rental. The household can qualify for one utility-related credit but not another. Treating all rebates as one bundle can conceal this distinction.
Before relying on a benefit, check the specific account and rules for that year. A landlord renting out an entire HDB flat may no longer qualify for a rebate that helped while living there. The change should be reflected in the landlord’s budget and not used to mislead tenants about who pays the charges.
Chapter 17 — Utility bills depend on real consumption
Electricity and water use vary with the number of residents, appliance efficiency, home size, cooking habits and time spent at home. Two households in identical four-room flats can produce very different bills. An average national figure is only a reference and may not reflect a family working from home with elderly residents.
Track several consecutive bills and identify seasonal or behavioural patterns. Ask whether high usage reflects air-conditioning, an inefficient water heater, a leak or a newly added appliance. A practical savings plan targets the cause rather than demanding arbitrary reductions that undermine basic comfort or hygiene.
Chapter 18 — Electricity bills have a rate and a consumption component
The amount on a bill reflects the relevant electricity tariff or retail plan, usage and applicable charges or taxes. A regulated tariff can change periodically, while an open-market electricity contract may have different pricing terms. Comparing an old promotional rate with today’s default tariff is not a fair assessment of the household’s options.
Record the current rate, contract duration, exit fees where applicable and monthly kilowatt-hours. A very low advertised number can be outweighed by conditions or consumption. Residents should choose an electricity arrangement they understand and can manage, especially when a move or job change may alter the household’s use.
Chapter 19 — Cooling affects the bill but protects comfort
Air-conditioning often consumes a large share of electricity in tropical homes. NEA’s energy-efficiency guidance recommends options such as fans, sensible temperature settings, cleaning filters and using window coverings during hot periods. Yet a financial plan should not demand that vulnerable residents endure unsafe heat purely to lower a bill.
Use a combination of shade, ventilation, fans and efficient cooling. Test the actual rooms, sun exposure and occupants’ needs. The most effective plan is one the household can live with consistently rather than a dramatic reduction maintained for only a few uncomfortable days.
Chapter 20 — Water-saving starts with leaks and routine
Water use is driven by showers, washing, cooking, cleaning and toilets. A hidden leak can produce unexplained usage long before visible water damage appears. Pay attention to a sudden increase in metered use and inspect relevant fittings safely. PUB provides household guidance about efficient fixtures and water conservation.
Rather than expecting every person to use an unrealistic daily allowance, identify where water is being wasted. Repair faulty taps, use efficient laundry settings and avoid leaving water running unnecessarily. A good routine protects both the bill and the home’s condition. For significant plumbing problems, engage the appropriately qualified professional.
Chapter 21 — Refuse collection is a distinct recurring charge
NEA announced that from 1 July 2026 the household refuse collection fee for HDB flats and non-landed private homes would rise from $10.20 to $10.64 per month, inclusive of GST. The landed-home fee changed separately. Such changes reflect service costs, not a property owner choosing to spend more on waste removal.
Eligible U-Save can offset relevant utility charges, including refuse collection. Record the rate applying to your property type and check later updates rather than assuming $10.64 remains unchanged until 2036. Waste fees are a small line compared with a mortgage, but they illustrate how household running costs change over time.
Chapter 22 — Gas bills and appliances require a safety lens
Not every home uses town gas or the same cooking and hot-water appliances. Bills depend on the chosen service and actual usage. When planning a purchase or rental, check whether gas is connected, who manages the account and whether fixtures are safe and appropriate for the home.
Do not treat a suspicious gas smell or faulty heating appliance as an ordinary cost-saving issue. Follow the provider’s emergency guidance and use qualified professionals. Maintenance costs are part of housing affordability; postponing necessary safety work to save money can create much greater danger.
Chapter 23 — Broadband and subscriptions belong in the budget
Internet is essential for many households, but offers vary in speed, equipment, contract length and installation conditions. A family moving into a new BTO should check service availability at the exact block and unit and not assume the advertised estate connectivity is operational at handover.
Compare the total contract cost, installation fees and the need for a stable connection for study, work or caregiving. Avoid stacking optional subscriptions into the mental category of ‘housing necessity’ without review. A clear budget can protect essential connectivity while reducing low-value recurring spending.
Chapter 24 — Insurance serves different risks
HDB Fire Insurance, the CPF Home Protection Scheme, private home-contents policies and condominium insurance can cover different exposures. A flat owner should not assume a building fire policy protects every personal possession or that mortgage protection pays for ordinary maintenance. The correct combination depends on the home, financing and household circumstances.
Read the coverage amount, excess, exclusions and claims process. Keep the insurer’s contact details with the housing file. Insurance is one recurring cost that should be evaluated for actual risk protection rather than automatically eliminated during a budget squeeze.
Chapter 25 — Parking costs are part of choosing a location
Owners who drive may face HDB season parking, condominium parking arrangements, EV charging fees and other transport costs. A car park close to the block does not imply a free or guaranteed space. Parking terms can change and additional permits or payments may be needed for particular arrangements.
Include regular parking and commuting costs when comparing two homes. A lower purchase price far from employment can be offset by greater travel expenses and time. Conversely, convenient rail and bus access may allow a household to avoid car ownership. Housing affordability is connected to how residents move.
Chapter 26 — Repairs and appliance replacement need a reserve
A home contains systems that age: air-conditioning, water heaters, refrigerators, washing machines, window fittings and waterproofing. A family that spends all available money on the first renovation may struggle when equipment fails several years later. The monthly mortgage remains due while the repair bill arrives.
Create a dedicated repair reserve, even if the monthly contribution is modest. Use past maintenance records, the building’s age and appliance warranties to estimate likely needs. When one appliance is nearing the end of its life, plan replacement before emergency failure where possible. This reduces the temptation to use expensive short-term debt.
Chapter 27 — Condo management fees work differently from S&CC
A private strata home may require maintenance contributions, sinking fund contributions and occasional special levies under its MCST arrangements. Those obligations are not Town Council S&CC. A condominium with extensive pools, lifts and shared facilities can carry substantial ongoing costs even when the owner’s private unit is small.
Request the current management fee schedule and available information about major planned works. Compare the financial resilience of the management corporation, not just the presence of a gym. A seemingly affordable private apartment can become uncomfortable if common-property charges rise beyond the household’s budget.
Chapter 28 — Tenants and landlords must allocate bills in writing
An HDB or condo tenancy should explain who pays utilities, internet, property tax, service fees and household maintenance. A tenant may pay metered utilities while a landlord handles property-tax obligations, but the particular agreement matters. Shared-room rentals can have inclusive or capped utilities that require extra clarity.
Record the arrangements and meter readings at move-in. If bills are divided among housemates, agree on a transparent method. A vague promise that rent ‘includes everything’ can create dispute when an unusually large air-conditioning bill arrives. Clear contracts make recurring housing costs predictable.
Chapter 29 — Moving home creates overlapping bills
A family may be responsible for utilities at two addresses around handover, especially if a new home requires renovation before occupation. Property tax, S&CC and management charges also have their own contractual or statutory timing. The fact that someone has not physically moved in does not automatically remove every ownership-related obligation.
Prepare an overlap calendar for the old and new homes. Clarify account opening and closure, meter readings, key dates and payments. Cancel obsolete subscriptions and keep proof that services ended. A small amount of deliberate administration can prevent months of unnecessary charges after a move.
Chapter 30 — Use GIRO for reliability, but still review statements
Automatic payment arrangements can help households avoid late fees when bills recur. But GIRO does not verify whether the amount is correct or whether a duplicate account remains active. Review statements periodically, especially after a move, ownership change or new levy.
Maintain enough balance before scheduled deductions and record failed-payment notices. Where a rebate is automatically credited, confirm it appears on the correct account. A reliable system combines automatic payment with occasional human checking rather than assuming there can never be an error.
Chapter 31 — A one-year household-bill example
Imagine a fictional four-room HDB household paying $1,800 monthly mortgage, $80 S&CC, $220 average utilities, $45 broadband, $35 insurance and setting aside $150 for repairs. Its illustrative monthly housing-related figure is $2,330 before any additional property-tax provision, transport or other obligations. These amounts are not market averages; they show how several modest charges add up.
If the family receives U-Save or S&CC rebates in an eligible year, record those against the relevant account and period rather than treating them as permanent reductions. Then stress-test the household’s ability to afford the home if a rebate ends, utility consumption increases or repairs occur sooner than expected.
Chapter 32 — Annual Value examples must show the marginal calculation
Suppose an owner-occupied property has an assessed AV of $30,000 under the published owner-occupier bands effective from January 2025. The first $12,000 is taxed at 0% and the next $18,000 at 4%, making $720 before any applicable relief or rebate. This illustrates marginal taxation without predicting the AV of a specific home.
Now suppose the same property is fully let and qualifies for non-owner-occupier treatment. The starting rate applies differently and the bill can be substantially higher. Always enter the actual year’s assessment and legal occupancy status. A worked example is useful only if the reader understands why the inputs cannot be copied blindly.
Chapter 33 — A landlord’s complete annual budget
A landlord should compare gross rent with property tax, insurance, agent fees, vacancy, financing interest, management or S&CC obligations, repairs and income-tax implications. Rental income varies, but many costs continue during vacancy. A high advertised rental yield that ignores these items can make an unsuitable investment appear safe.
Write a conservative annual cashflow and include at least one vacancy scenario. Keep tax records and invoices. Do not assume every repair qualifies for a particular tax deduction without checking IRAS rules. A sustainable rental arrangement protects both the owner’s finances and the tenant’s enjoyment of a maintained home.
Chapter 34 — A retiree’s recurring-cost plan
Retirees may have lower income but continue facing property tax, utilities, S&CC, repairs and insurance. Some qualify for property-tax instalment arrangements or assistance programmes, but the specific rules should be checked. A long-term budget should separate predictable monthly expenses from large occasional items that could deplete savings.
Check whether the existing home is still affordable and accessible. Rightsizing, renting out an eligible bedroom, changing utility habits or seeking appropriate support may be options, depending on the circumstances. The objective is not to remove all spending; it is to keep a safe home without placing excessive pressure on retirement resources.
Chapter 35 — Support measures should be verified, not guessed
Households sometimes see a general government announcement and assume every flat receives the same payout. In reality, U-Save, S&CC rebates, property tax relief and ComCare can have different criteria. Some are automatically credited, while other support may require an application or assessment. Misunderstanding the process can lead to a budget shortfall.
Consult the responsible primary authority: GovBenefits and MOF for rebate policy, SP for utility-account credits, Town Council for S&CC, IRAS for property tax and MSF for social assistance. If a household believes a credit is missing, check the relevant account and eligibility rather than asking a random intermediary to ‘release’ money.
Chapter 36 — Avoid scams tied to government rebates
Legitimate government rebate programmes have official eligibility and payment channels. A caller or message asking a household to transfer a fee or reveal bank login credentials to receive U-Save or an S&CC rebate should be treated as suspicious. MOF has explicitly warned that government officials do not ask members of the public to transfer money or disclose banking details over such calls.
Verify through the real agency website or known phone number, not a link sent by the purported helper. If uncertain about a scam, Singapore’s ScamShield helpline is 1799. Household finances are safer when people understand both what the benefit does and how it is delivered.
Chapter 37 — The 2027–2036 annual review
At the start of each year, record the new property tax bill, Town Council or MCST rates, utility tariff or contract terms, refuse collection fee and known insurance renewals. Then check what the Government has actually announced for that year’s rebates. Keep a comparison with the previous year and identify the largest cause of change.
Do not attempt to predict every rate until 2036. Instead create a reliable process that catches changes. Review consumption, replace inefficient appliances when justified and maintain a cash buffer. The strongest housing budget is one that can be updated from real bills and rules rather than relying on a frozen calculation from 2026.
Chapter 38 — Frequently asked questions about household bills
Does the mortgage include property tax?
No. Property tax is a distinct liability based on IRAS’s Annual Value and applicable rate, regardless of the housing loan payment.
What is Annual Value?
IRAS’s estimate of a property’s annual rental value under the relevant definition. It is not the sale price or the owner’s annual salary.
Do owner-occupied and rented homes pay the same property tax?
Not generally. Qualifying owner-occupied residential properties use lower progressive rates; non-owner-occupied residential homes use a different schedule.
What is the first owner-occupier AV band?
Under rates effective from 1 January 2025, the first $12,000 of eligible owner-occupied residential Annual Value is taxed at 0%.
Does a property tax rebate reduce next year’s bill automatically?
A one-off rebate applies only to the stated tax year unless a later measure is announced. Do not assume permanent renewal.
What does S&CC pay for?
Service and Conservancy Charges support Town Council management and maintenance of HDB estate common areas.
Does U-Save pay my mortgage?
No. U-Save is a utility-account rebate, not a mortgage payment or ordinary cash payout.
Does the S&CC rebate go to SP Services?
No. It is credited toward the relevant Town Council service and conservancy account, unlike U-Save utility credits.
Can unused U-Save credits carry forward?
Under the FY2026 arrangement, unused U-Save credits can be carried forward to offset subsequent utilities bills.
Will FY2026 double U-Save continue until 2036?
No such decade-long guarantee exists. Confirm each year’s fiscal announcements and eligibility.
Can a fully rented-out HDB flat still receive U-Save?
Eligibility can depend on the tenants’ citizenship and property holdings under the relevant year’s rules; do not assume an owner-occupied outcome applies.
Can a fully rented-out HDB flat receive S&CC rebates?
Whole-flat rental can make an HDB household ineligible under FY2026 S&CC rebate conditions. Verify current eligibility.
Where can I see U-Save credits?
In the relevant SP Services utilities account statement or official SP channels.
How do I check S&CC rebates?
Check MyHDB or contact the responsible Town Council for the account and current eligibility.
Do HDB and condos have the same common service charge?
No. HDB homes pay Town Council S&CC; strata developments generally pay MCST maintenance and sinking-fund contributions.
Is property tax due only when the property is sold?
No. It is an ongoing tax, unlike one-off transaction duties such as BSD and ABSD.
What if my electricity bill suddenly rises?
Review consumption and tariffs, check appliances or leaks where relevant, and investigate the actual cause before assuming a billing error.
Is air-conditioning the only reason for high utility bills?
No. Water heaters, cooking, washing, occupancy, appliance efficiency and electricity rates can also matter.
Can a renter be responsible for utilities?
Yes, depending on the tenancy agreement. Clarify accounts, inclusions, caps and move-in meter readings.
How can I budget for annual property tax?
Use the assessed AV and applicable rate, then divide the expected bill into monthly savings while following IRAS’s actual payment deadlines.
Should I ignore modest charges like refuse collection?
No. Small recurring costs accumulate and can change over time, so they belong in the same ledger.
Can I claim a rebate through a link sent by an unknown caller?
Do not rely on unsolicited links or payment requests. Verify through official GovBenefits, SP, Town Council or IRAS channels.
What if I cannot pay S&CC or other essential bills?
Contact the relevant billing organisation early and consider approaching an SSO for assistance with basic living needs if eligible.
What should I review every January?
Property tax, S&CC or MCST, utility contracts, household consumption, insurance, repair reserve and current rebate eligibility.
Chapter 39 — Source register and financial monitoring plan
IRAS residential property tax rates; IRAS essential HDB tax guide; IRAS 2026 bill and rebate; MOF September 2026 U-Save and S&CC; GovBenefits FY2026 measures; NEA refuse collection fee revision; NEA electricity-saving advice; eduKateSG housing loans guide; eduKateSG public rental and housing help.
This guide records rules and assistance known in November 2026. Tax rates, Annual Values, utility charges, S&CC rates and government support may change in any subsequent year through 2036. The correct habit is to keep a current ledger and verify the actual agency statement. Do not purchase or rent a home based on a projected decade of temporary rebates.
