Council Tax discounts

You might be entitled to a reduction in your Council Tax, or be exempt from paying Council Tax.

Disabled person reduction

If you, or someone who lives with you is disabled you may qualify for a reduction in your Council Tax.

Your property must have at least one of the following:

  • a room, other than a bathroom, kitchen or toilet used mainly by and required for the disabled person
  • a second bathroom or kitchen required for the disabled person.
  • extra space inside the property to allow the use of a wheelchair

If you are entitled to this reduction the Council Tax will be reduced to that of a property in the valuation band below the one your property is currently in or in the case of band A properties, reduced by a fixed proportion of the band D charge.

Once we have all the relevant information, we will contact you to arrange an inspection of your property.
