Changing your details

Change of ownership

When ownership of a property changes, liability for the payment of rates and charges remains with the owner listed in council records until we receive a notice of acquisition from the vendor, solicitor or conveyancer. Failure to submit a notice within one month of a transfer may result in substantial penalties to vendors.
