HARARE City Council (HCC) will from this month begin levying interest charges on residents and commercial property owners who have outstanding balances on their monthly bills.
In a statement, HCC said interest charges have been necessitated by a need to preserve the value of money.
“The City of Harare would like to advise its valued ratepayers, residents and stakeholders that it will begin to levy interest on all outstanding balances with effect from October 31, 2022.
“All residents with outstanding balances are therefore encouraged to clear their balances before this date or approach council finance offices for payment plans to avoid the interest charges,” reads the statement in part.
