Illustration for Local Government (Rating) Act 2002

When this Act gets the Royal assent, some parts start the next day. This includes part of section 137(1) that relates to section 122ZAA of the Local Government Act 1974 in Schedule 5. You need to know that the Royal assent is when the government agrees to make the Act a law. This is an important step in making the Act official.

Some other parts of the Act start on the next day, but only for rating in a financial year that begins on or after 1 July 2003. These parts include section 11 that relates to district valuation rolls. They also include part of section 137(1) that relates to Schedule 4 and items about the Rating Valuations Regulations 1998 in Schedule 5.

Some parts of the Act start on 30 April 2003. These include section 11 that relates to rating information databases. They also include sections 27 to 36. The rest of the Act starts on 1 July 2003.
