Poor Rate

Poor Rate is a local property tax levied by a government or municipality to fund public services for the community, such as sanitation, street maintenance, and local infrastructure. It is typically based on the value of real estate or property within the area, with property owners paying a percentage of their property's worth. This tax helps ensure that essential services are financed locally, directly linked to the property's value, and can vary depending on location and local government budget needs. Essentially, it’s a way for communities to finance the services they rely on daily.
