How to register for a MyHarrow Account

Watch our video about how to register for an account. More help is available below.

Registration issues

The activation link has expired

Activation links expire after 24 hours.

 

If the activation link has expired, you can request a new link by entering your email address as though it was a forgotten password.

 

Request a new activation link

I have not received the activation link or it is not working

Please check your spam and junk email boxes for the email from noreply@harrow.gov.uk.

 

Some email providers have very strict filters. These can block emails completely, so that they won’t even reach your junk or spam folder.


If you have checked your junk or spam folder, and have still not received our emails, you can try the following:

  • Request the email again: It may have been one-off failure and it might be successful if you request it again
  • Try registering with a different email address: If your email service is blocking our emails, you can try registering with another provider. For example, if you are not getting the emails to a Hotmail address, try using a Gmail address.

 

If you have followed the instructions above and still not received the email, please contact us using the form below.

 

Report an issue with the activation link

My address is not listed

If you cannot find your address in the list, check for variations. For example we may have it listed as Flat A 17 High Street,  instead of 17A High Street.

 

If it is a business address, make sure you tick the box 'Is this a business address?'
If the address includes the trading name of previous occupants, proceed with the address for now and we will update it later.  

 

If your address is not listed on the MyHarrow Account please contact us using the form below.

Password and login issues

Forgotten password

You can get a new password by entering your email address here: Get a new password

 

We will email you a link to set a new password. If you can't find the email, please check your junk or spam folders.

 

Please note that the password reset links expire if they are not used within 24 hours. If the link has expired you can request another one using the same link: Get a new password

How can I access someone's account after they have died

We cannot grant you access to the MyHarrow Account of the person who has died.

 

If you are their spouse or are appointed as an executor, you can register for a new MyHarrow Account using your own email address.

 

You can then link the Council Tax Account to your MyHarrow Account using the Council Tax Account Reference number. Once it is linked you will be able to view the payments, balance and correspondence.
