Important

The online payment system is currently unavailable.

We would advise that customers needing to make a payment to the council use the telephone payment line for:

  • Parking Fines
  • Council Tax
  • Business Rates
  • Housing Benefit Overpayments
  • General Debtors

The telephone number is 0330 008 1605 .

This exemption applies where the owner or tenant of the dwelling has their sole or main residence in another place (not being a hospital, care home, independent hospital or hostel) to receive personal care.

The person must be receiving care due to old age, disablement, illness, past or present alcohol or drug dependence, or past or present mental disorder. The unoccupied dwelling must previously have been the sole or main residence of the absent person, who must have been a relevant absentee for the whole of the period since last living in the property.
