Tenant or student household changes

The owner, agent, and tenants must give any information that affects the Council Tax charge within 21 days of a change.

Information includes:

• changes of occupancy/ownership
• changes to tenants
• student courses ending earlier than expected

Failure to contact the Council Tax department within 21 days from a change taking place may result in a penalty of £70 being applied.

No, if two or more adults live in a property, you can’t get a single occupancy discount.

You must inform the Council Tax department within 21 days of their 18th birthday.

We might still give a 25% discount if the 18-year-old living there gets child benefit, is a student, or has left school or college.

Please send proof:

• that child benefit is still being paid
• and a copy of their student exemption certificate from their school, college, or university.
