Most Council Tax bills are based on two or more adults living in a property (dwelling) as their main home.

If there are less than two adults counted as living in your home, or if you have a property that is unoccupied, your bill could be reduced. 

You could also get a reduction if someone that lives with you is disabled and your home has special facilities for them.

Find out about:

• single person discount - for people that live alone
• people that are not counted for Council Tax
• exemptions for occupied properties
• unoccupied properties and second homes
• reduction for disabled people

If you are not sure whether you are entitled to a discount, exemption or reduction please contact us.

If your bill shows that a discount or exemption has been granted but you think that you are not entitled to all or part of it then you should tell us immediately (you could receive a penalty if you don't).
