Tell us about changes that affect your council tax

A change to the people in your home

If there's been a change in the number of people living in your property, it may affect the amount of Council Tax you pay. You'll need to tell us if:

• somebody has moved in
• somebody has moved out
• you're no longer entitled to a council tax discount or exemption (for example, a child has turned 18)

A change to the property 

If there's been a change to the property, it may affect the amount of Council Tax you pay. You'll need to tell us if:

• You've changed the use of your property. For example, second home, holiday let, property demolished (caravan removed from site)
• probate has been granted
• you're no longer entitled to council tax discount or exemption

A change to the bill

Sometimes the council tax bill may need to be changed if some of the information isn't correct. This can include reasons such as:

• spelling mistake
• incorrect correspondence address
• your address is listed incorrectly

The information above does not cover all of the changes you should inform us about. If you are unsure whether or not we need to know about a particular change tell us anyway.
