"Council Rates" are the money you pay annually or quarterly to the municipal council to collect rubbish and do other things municipal councils do. I usually translate it as �����. Is this the right term for it?

السعر البلدي - سعر التثمين حسب المجلس البلدي

i'd assume this is the Rate of a property or land as evaluated by some municipal council

it could be:
سعر التثمين حسب المجلس البلدي

Latest council rate/valuation notice:
السعر البلدي الحديث/إشعار التثمين
أحدث سعر تثميني/إشعار التثمين

Mona, with your explanation, in Lebanon they call it:
ضريبة البلدية
or
رسوم خدمات البلدية

in Kuwait there are no fees, thus no rate!

you can call it for short
رسوم خدمات

agree Nesrin : It appears to be the equivalent of the UK "council tax", so I too think ضريبة البلدية is appropriate
