St Helier Annual Rates Return 2023

Each owner of land in the parish has been served with a notice to make a return of all land, houses, buildings and other structures owned at 1 January 2023. 

Any owner who has not received a notice and return should contact the Parish Office immediately.

By virtue of this notice, each owner shall be taken to have been served with a notice and it shall not be an excuse for non-compliance for an owner to show that a notice was not served on them.

Any person who has failed without reasonable cause to make a return by 5 February 2023 is guilty of an offence and liable to a fine not exceeding £1,000. A person charged with this offence may be dealt with at a Parish Hall enquiry and may accept a fine not exceeding £200.

Where ownership of land is transferred, written notice of the transfer of land must be given by both the former owner and the new owner to the Connétable within 7 days of the date of transfer. A person who fails to do this without reasonable cause is guilty of an offence and liable to a fine not exceeding £10,000.

Change of name or address of owner or occupier

Where an owner or occupier of property on 1 January 2023 changes their name or address, the person must give notice to the Connétable within 7 days of that change. A person who fails to do this without reasonable cause is guilty of an offence and liable to a fine not exceeding £1,000.
