Council Tax change of circumstances form
How to tell us of a change of address or reduce your bill
Do not use this form to tell us of a change of address or apply, you must use our Change of address form.
Visit our webpages to find out if you are eligible to reduce your bill.
We need to know about changes in your circumstances. This will help us make sure that you're paying the right amount of Council Tax.
You can use this form if:
- someone in your household has died
- someone in your household has moved and now lives permanently in a nursing home
- someone has come to live with you in your home, including family or friends. This may affect a reduction that you’re currently receiving on your Council Tax bill
- you’ve recently changed your name and you’d like us to update your account
- you’ve an annexe that's attached to your property which was occupied by a relative or family member and has now become unoccupied
- you need to tell us about any other change that could affect the amount of Council Tax you have to pay
We'll aim to action your change within 10 working days.

You'll need:
- Council Tax reference number (optional). You can find this on your Council Tax bill. It's 10 characters long and starts with '50'. If you provide this, it enables us to process your change more quickly
