When do I have to pay my Council Tax?

Council Tax demand notices are due in 10 monthly instalments from April to January.

The date you must pay your instalment each month is shown on your Council Tax Demand notice.This will normally be the 1st of each month.

If you pay in a Bank or Post Office, or send your payment through the post, please remember that we will not receive your payment for a few days. Please allow for this delay when you pay in one of these ways.  


How can I pay my Council Tax bill?

By Direct Debit:

This is the easiest way of paying and is the only method of payment which gives you a choice of payment date - either the 1st, 10th or 20th of the month.

Direct Debit application forms are available with your annual Council Tax demand notice issued to you each March; by contacting the Council Tax Section on 01685 725353 requesting a Direct Debit instruction; by downloading a form (Direct Debit Application.pdf). Please return this application to the Local Authority offices at the Civic Centre. Do not give your application to the Bank or Building Society, as we will forward your application to them.

You can pay your Council Tax, Rents, Business Rates and Council Invoices using a touch-tone telephone.
We use a secure system to authorise credit and debit cards payments.
