Council Tax information for Landlords

Keeping us informed

If you own a property and rent it to tenants you are required to notify us when there is a change of occupancy. Please tell us immediately when a change occurs. 

What you need to tell us

You need to give us information for Council Tax purposes when your tenants change. You need to do this by completing the Council Tax Tenancy Information Sheet.

Why is it important to give us this information?

Contacting us quickly about tenancy changes allows us to:

• Issue prompt and accurate bills
• Reduce paperwork, phone calls and property visits
• award exemptions and discounts correctly

Which means less hassle and administration for you.
