Zoning guidelines for guesthouses and B&Bs

Zoning guidelines for guesthouses and B&Bs

Posted in Members News

Ensure that your property is zoned correctly as either residential or commercial in order to have your water usage quota increased during the current water crisis.

  • Guesthouses and B&Bs utilizing more than 40% of the property for business purposes should be zoned as commercial properties.
  • These cases will be forwarded to the Valuation Department for the re-zoning of these properties.
  • These properties will still have to apply for a water quota increase until the zoning is changed on the system.
  • As soon as the zoning is changed on the system, service rates will be amended to be in line with the Property Rates tariff.
  • These properties will then be zoned as commercial properties and the water meter should be set on full flow.

 

To have your property rezoned, please contact your local council.
