Single person

Find out about applying for a reduction in council tax if you live on your own.

Information relating to councillors and Council meetings are currently unavailable. We apologise for the inconvenience.

If you are the only person aged 18 or over living in your home, you can get a 25% discount off your bill.

You must tell us if your circumstances change and you are no longer the only adult in your property.

What happens next

After applying you must still pay the amount on your council tax bill until you hear from us.

We'll check every year that you should still get the discount. We may cancel your discount if you don't reply when we contact you.

Tell us about a change

If you no longer qualify or something changes you must tell us within 21 days. You may have to pay a fine if you don't tell us.
