Who Should Pay
To work out who has to pay look down the list below. As soon as you reach a description which applies to someone in your home, they will be responsible for the bill.
- Resident freeholder(s) or owner occupier
- Resident leaseholder(s) with a lease/tenancy of 6 months or more
- Resident-secure or statutory tenant(s). This includes Council tenants
- Resident licensee or any other resident.
If there are no residents, responsibility would normally transfer to the owner.
You can appeal direct to us at Revenue Services if you think:
- you are not responsible for paying the council tax;
- your property should be exempt; or
- we have made a mistake on your bill.
