Business Rates

Exempt properties

Exempt properties or lands are not shown in the Rating List and therefore have no liability for Business Rates.

Exempt properties include agricultural land and buildings, fish farms, places of religious worship, open public places such as parks, property used for the disabled and property in enterprise zones.

If your property is used under such circumstances, you should contact the Valuation Office for further information.
