Moving home? Let us know

Report a Change of Address 

To make sure you're paying the correct amount of Council Tax, please tell us as soon as you move. You’ll need to provide the following details:

Contact information

  • daytime phone number
  • email address

Property details

For your new address:

  • move-in date
  • purchase or tenancy start date
  • name and address of the previous owner, occupier, or landlord (if known)
  • whether the property is furnished or unfurnished
  • if moving in with someone, their name

For your old address:

  • move-out date
  • sale or tenancy end date
  • name and address of the landlord, new occupier, or buyer (if known)
  • whether the property is furnished or unfurnished

Legal details

  • name and address of your solicitor or estate/letting agent

Once we receive your information, we’ll send you a revised Council Tax bill. If you’ve overpaid at your old address, we’ll usually transfer the credit to your new account.

Please Note: If there’s an overlap between your old and new addresses, you may be liable for Council Tax on both properties during that period.

Receiving Council Tax Support?

If you receive Local Council Tax Support (also known as Council Tax Relief or Benefit), you’ll need to reapply for your new address if you think you still qualify.
