Council Tax information for landlords

Tell us about a change in tenancy

Landlords, we ask that any tenancy changes are reported to the council tax team within 21 days.  This enables us to issue a Council Tax bill whilst the tenant is still resident in the property and prevents any liability disputes in the future. 

Failure to report tenancy changes can result in the wrong liability being recorded and any debt recovery action being taken against the wrong person, with legal costs being incurred.  We want to make sure we avoid this and work with you to ensure our records are up-to-date.

Any gap in Council Tax liability will be charged to the owner of the property.
