You can obtain the property's overall rates and Government rent account information at a charge of $20 for each property record via the "Enquiry on Rates and/or Government Rent Account" service on the Property Information Online or you can complete Form RVD 1009 "Rates and/or Government Rent Account Enquiry Form" with which a fee of $81 will be charged for each property record. For the latter method, please return the form together with a cheque payable to "The Government of the HKSAR" for the service charge to RVD by post or in person at 15/F Cheung Sha Wan Government Offices, 303 Cheung Sha Wan Road, Kowloon. A reply will normally be issued within 10 days.

Please note that if the Government rent, including that accrued before change of ownership, is not paid, the Government is entitled to take back the property under the Government Rights (Re-entry and Vesting Remedies) Ordinance (Cap. 126). You will incur extra costs to get the property back.
