Council Tax Charges 2024/2025 (PDF Document, 0.13 Mb)

The charge is legally payable over ten instalments (April to January) and this is what most people do.

There is also the option to pay over 12 months - you just have to ask. Depending on when we receive your request we will spread your charge over the remaining months in the financial year. You can also make block payments (for half a year, annual or weekly) - but they must be paid in advance.

You may be entitled to a reduction or an exemption. We're here to give you clear and consistent information, promptly, accurately - and in the strictest confidence.
