Council tax

The occupier(s) of a property, whether privately owned or rented, are the persons ordinarily liable for payment of council tax. Empty properties are the responsibility of the non-resident owners or tenants.  A man and woman living together, as husband and wife are jointly and severally liable (i.e. individually and together), as are joint owners or tenants. 

Advice on discounts, rebates and exemptions is contained below along with payment options and valuation information.
