Council Garages

Our garages to rent are only to be used as a domestic garage, to house a private motor vehicle, unless written permission is granted by Oxford City Council to use the garage to store bicycles, personal household items and/or garden items.

Ending a Garage Rent Agreement

You must inform us that you are ending the tenancy and send this in writing to us. 

You must give us notice of one calendar month.

You must make sure the garage is empty when you hand in the keys.

On-street Disabled Parking

Disabled drivers may be eligible for an on-street parking space if you do not have access to a garage. You cannot have both on-street parking and a garage. For information about on-street disabled parking contact visit the Blue Badge Scheme page of the Oxfordshire County Council website.
