Charities

Find out about applying for a reduction in council tax if a property is unoccupied and used for charitable purposes.

The current processing time for new applications and changes to council tax is an average of 12 weeks. If you contact us with a general enquiry online we will reply to you within two working days.

You may be able to get a reduced bill if the property:

  • Is owned by a registered charity
  • Has been unoccupied for less than six months
  • Has been used for the purposes of the charity up to the date it became unoccupied

The exemption applies whether or not the property is furnished and will be for a maximum period of six months providing it remains unoccupied.
