Illustration for Local Government (Rating) Act 2002

If you are a ratepayer under section 11(2) and you transfer or assign your lease or licence, you must tell the local authority about it within one month. You need to do this after the transfer or assignment has taken effect. The local authority will then update their rating information database with the new details.
