If you are a landlord or managing agent, you can let us know about a change in your tenants online.
When the landlord is responsible for Council Tax
Landlords are responsible for Council Tax for the following properties:
- Unoccupied residential properties
- Houses in multiple occupation (HMO), e.g. groups of bedsits which share washing and cooking facilities
- Properties occupied by asylum seekers
- Properties occupied only by religious communities
- Care and nursing homes
- Some hostels
- Some second homes
- Some vicarages
Liability between tenanted lets
As a landlord or agent, you must pay Council Tax between lets. If you have informed us about a tenant change, continue paying until you get an updated bill. Any overpaid amount will be refunded.
Empty and unfurnished properties
If your property is empty and unfurnished, you can get a 100% Council Tax discount for one month. If the property remains empty and unfurnished after one month, the full Council Tax becomes due, and you will have to pay the full charge.
