Rates for New Business Premises
Commercial Properties are listed by your local Authority. The listing will then go the Valuation Office (details below). A Valuation Officer will visit your premises to value the property. The valuation depends on factors such as the business location, square footage, and the nature of the business. If you have any queries in relation to your valuation, please contact:
