Most of the council’s garages are in garage compounds near to areas of council housing. 

There is normally a waiting list for garages. 

• applications are treated in date order – the longest standing applicant for a particular area will be allocated a garage in that area when it becomes available 
• preference is given to Chesterfield Borough Council tenants 
• applicants that are not Chesterfield Borough Council tenants will be considered if there are no Chesterfield Borough Council tenants eligible for allocation of a particular garage 
• a garage will not be allocated to an applicant who has housing-related debt, such as rent arrears or money owing for rechargeable repairs 

In some areas of the borough we do have vacant garages with no waiting list, please contact us for more information. 

You will be given a separate account number to pay your garage rent alongside council house rent. Garage rent is not eligible for housing benefit.
