A full Council Tax bill is calculated on the basis that there are at least two people aged 18 or over living in the property. Where there is only one person over the age of 18 in the property, a 25% discount can be applied.
This discount can only apply to your main home and not any second homes.
You can only apply for a Single Person Discount if:
- you are the only adult (aged 18 or over) living in your property
- you are the person named on the Council Tax bill, or you have permission from this person
- you live in the property all or most of the time, and do not own any other properties
We will send you a new bill if your application is successful. You should continue paying your bill as normal until you hear from us.
I'm not eligible anymore
If you are already receiving a discount and another adult moves into the household you must tell us about your change in circumstances within 21 days, clearly stating the date this change took place.
