Town Council Regulations (Chapter 40:02).

These Regulations provide for the establishment of Town Councils and define their duties and powers and internal organization.
Councils are established by the Minister as a body corporate. Every Town Council shall appoint valuation officers for the valuation of land. Such officers shall be approved by the Minister and they shall make valuations of land and valuation rolls in accordance with these Regulations. There shall also be established in each area of a Town Council a Valuation Court. Transfer of land in the area of jurisdiction of a Town Council shall be notified. Where any rateable land in any council area is unoccupied and no rates in respect of such land have been paid for five years, the council may take possession of such land and grant leases of the same subject to the provisions of these Regulations. Functions that may be conferred upon a Town Council are specified in the First Schedule to these Regulations.
