If you are not registered for Council Tax or have just moved to the area, please complete the change of address form BEFORE applying for the Sole Occupier Discount:
If you are the only person over 18 living in a property, you may be eligible for a 25% discount.
You can only claim this discount at your main residence. You can’t claim a sole occupier discount for a second home.
