Change of ownership

If you sell your property, you don’t need to update your address for rate notices. The Titles office will notify us, and we’ll send the rate notices to the new owners.

If you move out but still own the property, update your mailing address by:

If you have Direct Debit or scheduled BPAY payments set up for the property you’re selling, cancel them immediately to avoid unwanted payments being made after the sale.

If you are buying a property in Logan, please see Information about buying a residential property.

Add, change or remove a name from a property title or rates notice

To add, change or remove a name on the property title, please visit the Titles Queensland. Once the title has been updated, the titles office will let us know. This can take four to six weeks. We will then update the details on the rate notice.

What if the property cannot be lived in due to house fire, flood or natural disaster?

If your house cannot be lived in, please let us know by emailing us at council@logan.qld.gov.au or calling us on 07 3412 3412. We can assess the property and determine how we can help. We may be able to adjust the property’s service charges.

Account establishment fee

When a property is purchased, Logan City Council charges an account establishment fee of $92.50 for the transfer of property ownership to the purchaser. This fee will appear on the first rates notice issued after the change of ownership is processed. For more information, please download the Account establishment fee fact sheet (PDF 188 KB).
