How can I Pay?

Can I pay my rates electronically/by Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)?

Yes, you can pay your rates electronically/ by EFT. Cork County Council’s Bank Account details for Rates payments are as follows:

**The above Bank Account is for receipt of Rate payments only. It is not to be used for any other payments to Cork County Council**

When paying by electronic transfer you must tag the payment with the rate account number(s).  You will generally enter this as the ‘Narrative’ to appear on Cork County Council’s Bank Statement and your own. Your Rate Account No. appears on your Rate Bill/Reminder Notice in the form of 7 digits followed by letters RA followed by 2 digits e.g. 6723456RA99.

NB: Failure to reference the full correct rate account number may result in delays in a payment being credited to your rate account.

Remittance advice should also be sent to the Rate Collector, Cork County Council, Collection Office, Floor 6, County Hall, Cork or by email to collection@corkcoco.ie.

I do not have access to EFT payments, can I pay my rates in other ways?
