Help to pay your council tax

Find out what help is available if you are struggling to pay your council tax.

Paying council tax is as important as rent, mortgage, fuel bills and child maintenance. We may take legal action if you do not pay your council tax.

Do not wait to get a reminder before paying. If you are struggling to pay your council tax and have received court summons, you may be able to agree a payment arrangement.

Reduce your monthly payments

You may be able to reduce your monthly payments by paying your council tax over 12 months rather than 10. 

You can change your direct debit online.

Request a copy of your bill

If you would like a copy of your council tax bill by email or as a paper copy, complete the online form.

The online form is currently unavailable due to essential maintenance. Please check back on this page at a later date. We apologise for any inconvenience.
