St John Rates List 2024

The Parish of St John Rates List is available for inspection from Tuesday 7 May 2024 until Friday 24 May 2024 from: 

• the Parish website using the 3-part code on the paper Notice of Assessment or access from your digital notice
• the Parish Hall during opening hours

You can also call +44 (0) 1534 861999 for further information.

Make sure to read the Notices of Assessment carefully, for information on the procedure that needs to be followed should you wish to make a formal Review or Appeal, see the notes on the parish website.

It is recommended that you discuss any concerns with a member of the Assessment Committee on Thursday 16 May or Tuesday 21 May 2024. This is available by appointment only.

For your Notice of Assessment, make sure:

1. Your rates are calculated against the property you owned and occupied on 1 January 2024 and you are liable to pay for the whole of the sum regardless of whether or not you move within the year. There is no allowance for apportionment of the account within the Law
2. All properties rented furnished are charged entirely to the Foncier (owner)
   
3. The rate for all properties, whether occupied or not, is charged for the whole year
   
4. The number of quarters shown on the notice will only represent a monetary value once the rate per quarter has been agreed at the Assembly to be held at the Parish Hall on Wednesday 17 July at 7.30pm.
   

If you think you'll find it difficult to pay the full amount when you receive the demand in July, contact the Parish Hall to discuss arranging regular weekly or monthly payments. This will prevent additional charges being added to your account due to a late payment surcharge or Petty Debt costs.

We are delighted to confirm that we will, from this year, accept payment for Parish Rates through:

• Citypay Online by using the scanning app on your Rate Demand.
• BACS
  
• Standing Order, which is payable either weekly or monthly. Contact the Parish Hall for further details
  
• Debit or Credit Card. This does not include American Express (AMEX)
  
• Cash
