Report changes affecting your council tax

If you move house or if anything changes that may affect how much council tax you pay or discounts you receive, you must tell us as soon as possible.

You may receive a financial penalty if you claim discounts or exemptions that you are no longer entitled to, or you don't tell us about a change of circumstances within 21 days.

Tell us about your change in address, report a change in your Single Person Discount status or request a change in payment method.
