Parking and Garages
Parking
Most Council housing does not come with allocated parking. If there is a parking space allocated to your property, you will be made aware of this when you view the property.
If you normally park your vehicle on-street, you should ensure that you familiarise yourself with any parking restrictions in your area and comply with them accordingly. If you have a driveway or some other form of off-street parking, you may use this to park your vehicle. If you wish to create a driveway or other off-street parking area, you must get permission before you begin any work. You should submit your proposal in writing to your local Area Housing Office.
Garage Sites
Perth & Kinross Council has a number of garage sites throughout the Council area. These are available to rent with the current weekly rent varying according to the location and make-up of the site. You should note that only the site is rented from the Council - you are responsible for supplying and erecting a garage on the site and you are also responsible for removing the garage if you decide to give up the site. You may need planning consent before erecting a garage on a Council site. The rental of garage sites is available to all residents, even if they are not Council tenants. For further information, please contact your local Area Housing Team.
Lock-ups
As well as offering sites for garages, the Council also rents out lock-ups in various areas throughout Perth & Kinross. These are pre-constructed garages which are ready for use. The current weekly rent for lock-ups is £5.78 (excluding VAT) - Council tenants do not have to pay VAT on the rental of a lock-up. Lock-ups are however available to all residents and the current weekly charge for non-Council tenants is £6.79 (including VAT).
Location of Garage Sites/Lock-ups
A list of the locations of garage sites and lock-ups is available in the downloads section. Some areas are more popular than others and you may be assigned to a waiting list until a vacancy becomes available. Contact your local Area Housing Team for further information.
Restrictions of Use
Both garage sites and lock-ups are intended for the storage of motor vehicles only. There are various specific restrictions of use which are detailed in the missive of let or tenancy agreement. Samples of these are available in the downloads section.
