Rates relief

Rural relief

Rural relief is available to various properties within certain rural settlement areas, which are the only such property within the settlement and meet the below criteria.

Relief is not awarded automatically and an application for relief must be made by the ratepayer, or a person authorised to act on behalf of the ratepayer.

You may be eligible for 100% mandatory rates relief if:

  • The property is in a designated rural area with a population below 3,000 within North Lanarkshire.

In the case of a petrol filling station, relief can be applied where the current rateable value is £12,750 or less, and the ratepayer in relation to that subject is not the ratepayer in relation to any other petrol filling station in Scotland.

In the case of a public house, relief can be applied where the current rateable value is £12,750 or less, and where ratepayer is not the ratepayer in relation to any other public house in Scotland and where there is no other hotel or public house in the settlement concerned.

In the case of a hotel, relief can be applied where the current rateable value is £12,750 or less, and the ratepayer is not the ratepayer in relation to any other Hotel in Scotland and where this no other public house or hotel in the settlement concerned.

In the case of a general store, food store or post office, relief can be applied where the current rateable value is £8,500 or less.
