How to advise a name or owner change on a rates assessment?

Council is only able to process a property owner name change if the name has been legally changed on the property Title. If the property owner name has not been changed on the Title through the Land Registry Office, Council suggests you contact a Solicitor for guidance as Council cannot make any amendments.

Once a name change is completed on the property title, a copy must be provided to Council for verification and actioning.
