If you’re the only adult over 18 living in a property or the only adult over 18 not counted for (disregarded) from Council Tax, you may be eligible for a discount of up to 25% on your Council Tax bill. 

You cannot claim a single-person discount if: 

  • you’re under 18
  • the property is your second home 
  • someone has moved out temporarily, but their main residence has not changed

Before you apply, you’ll need your Council Tax account number.

You may be eligible for another council tax discount. 

You can use our general enquiries form to tell us about this change. Before you apply, you’ll need your Council Tax account number.
