Find out what discounts, reductions and exemptions you may be able to claim to reduce your Council Tax bill for an occupied property.
If you're the only resident aged 18 or over
Your Council Tax could be reduced by 25% if you're the only resident in your home aged 18 or over. This covers your full bill, including any water and sewerage charges.
Apply for a single person discount
You can also call 030 33 33 3005 to apply.
After you apply
It can take up to 6 weeks to process an application, as long as you've given us all the information we need.
If you qualify, the discount will be on your account from the date you qualify. We'll update your account as soon as the decision is made and send you an updated bill.
If you do not qualify
Find out what you can do if you do not qualify.
Other ways to reduce your bill
You may still qualify for a reduction even if you live with someone aged 18 or over. We ignore certain groups (known as disregarded persons) when counting the people living in your home and calculating your Council Tax.
