"Warning: Old rates are being replaced with new ones"

Illustration for Local Government (Rating) Act 2002

When a court order is made or a local authority decides to set new rates, they must tell the public as soon as possible that the old rates will be replaced. You will see a public notice that says which rates will be changed. The local authority must also update their records to show that they will set new rates and which old rates will be replaced.
