properties. There is a minimum charge and a maximum charge.
(b)
A property defined by any structure that has its own entrance and has more than two rooms. i.e. a security
hut or external boiler room would not be classed as separate property but separate office block or parking
structure on the same site would. The only exception to this may be a large hospital where the Property

separate assessments.
