Would you or anyone you know like to rent a garage?

Somerset Council lets and manages over 1,400 garages around the Taunton Dean and Wellington area. If you or anyone you know is interested in renting one of these, here's how to apply and what the process is:

Apply
If you wish to apply for a garage, please email Garagelettings@somerset.gov.uk with your name, address, contact details and your preferred area.

If you are unable to apply by email, please telephone 0300 123 224 and ask for your details to be passed to the Garage Officer.

We are currently experiencing high demand and will contact you when a garage becomes available

Authorise
We'll review your application and check our records to see whether you
• are a current tenant or leaseholder: you can still rent a garage if you're not, but we prioritise residents
• are aged 18 or over
• Have any debts with Somerset Council
If you meet all these criteria we will accept your application

Allocate
When a garage becomes available in the geographical area of your request, we'll get in contact with you by phone, email or text.

If you decide you want the garage, we will invite you to a tenancy sign up where we will
• issue you with a tenancy agreement to rent the garage
• set up a Direct Debit
• give you keys to the garage

Things to keep in mind
• If you already owe us money, we will refuse your application
• You can only pay garage rent by Direct Debit
• If you fall into arrears, we will repossess the garage

We look forward to receiving your application.
