Council Tax change of circumstances
You must tell us about any change in your circumstances that may affect your Council Tax so we can make sure your Council Tax is right.
Where the change might affect how much Council Tax you pay, you might pay too much if you don’t tell us immediately. Or you might not pay enough, and have to pay the extra later all in one go.
The law says you must tell us within 21 days of the change. If it’s already been longer than 21 days, you should tell us straightaway.

What happens next when you tell us about a change of circumstance
We are currently experiencing a high volume of enquiries, which is causing delays in updating some Council Tax accounts. To help us manage this, please avoid contacting us or sending duplicate enquiries. Our backlog is currently around three months.
We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and assure you that we are working diligently to respond as quickly as possible.
Thank you for your patience and understanding
