571 What happens if land is transferred?
(1) A person who disposes of an
estate in land continues to be liable to pay a rate or charge levied in
respect of the land if the rate or charge was levied--
(a) before the estate
was disposed of, or
(b) after the estate was disposed of but before notice of
the transfer was given as required by this Act.
(2) A person who, as the
holder of a licence, permit, permissive occupancy or authority under the
Crown Land Management Act 2016 , was liable for rates or charges continues to
be liable to pay a rate or charge levied in respect of the land subject to the
licence, permit, permissive occupancy or authority if the rate or charge was
levied before the licence, permit, permissive occupancy or authority was
terminated or expired.
(3) A person who becomes liable for rates and charges
levied on land is liable to the council for a rate or charge owing in respect
of the land even though the person was not so liable when the rate or charge
was levied.
