FOI release

Empty property rates on Salvation Army property

Case reference FOI2022/00158

Published 24 February 2022

Request

I would like to be provided with details of all residential property in the borough owned by the Salvation Army (SA) over the past five years that has been left vacant. I would also like to know what council tax discount (if any) these properties have been granted for the vacancy periods (https://www.gov.uk/council-tax/second-homes-and-empty-properties).

For the avoidance of doubt, I am only asking for details about vacancy at and council taxes levied on Salvation Army properties - and not the actual addresses of the homes.

The information should be presented in separate tables for each year (2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021) with the following columns.

1/ Sequential Salvation Army Properties in the borough (ie Property 1, Property 2 etc etc).

2/ No. of days of the year the property was left vacant.

3/ Council tax paid by the SA on the property during the year.

4/ The discount granted to the SA on the full council tax rate because the property had been vacant.

Response

There are no properties that meet the criteria for the above mentioned request.
