How to register for a MyHarrow Account for business rates

Step 1 - Your details

When registering you will need to enter your own name rather than the name of your organisation. If other people need to view your company's business rates, they will be able to link it to their own account too.

Step 2: Add a service

After entering your details and choosing a password, you need to select which services you need. You can select as many as you want. If there are any services you do not need right now you will be able to add these at a later date.

After making your selection, click 'Next' at the bottom of the page

Step 3: Email verification

After confirming which services you need, you will be sent an email with a link to activate your account. The email will come from noreply@harrow.gov.uk. If you cannot find the email, please check your spam or junk folders. If the email has gone into your spam or junk folder, you may need to move it to your inbox, or confirm that it is not spam before the link will work.

Step 4: Complete

Your MyHarrow account is now active and ready to use.  You can now link up to your business rates accounts. If you need help to link the accounts see below.
