Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

If you need Council to discuss your property details with somebody not registered you will need to send a letter or email to Council.

The notification must be from the registered owner(s) stating that they authorise Council to discuss matters associated with their property with the name of the third party.

When the registered owner of the property is no longer able to manage their own affairs, any client wishing to discuss the account with Council must provide documented evidence that they have the lawful ability to act on the person's behalf.

When ownership of a property changes, the purchaser's solicitor will forward a Notice of Acquisition to Council. If this is not provided, the owner must provide supporting documentation from the Land Titles Office indicating ownership changes.
