Council Tax discounts and exemptions

You can apply online for a disability discount.

Start now

While we process your application, you must continue paying your Council Tax. We can take action if you do not pay the full amount.

Who can apply

You can apply for a disability discount if you or someone living with you has a permanent and substantial disability.

The property has either:

• a room other than a bathroom, toilet or kitchen used mainly by, and to meet the needs of, the disabled person
• an extra bathroom or kitchen to meet the needs of the disabled person
• enough floor space for the use of a wheelchair required to meet the needs of the disabled person

There is no age limit and the disabled person does not need to be the Council Tax payer.

How we apply the discount

We will reduce the amount you pay to that of a band lower than your property. For example:

• if your property is in band D, you will be charged the band C rate
• if your property is in the lowest band A, you will still get a discount

You're able to apply for other discounts and exemptions, in addition to a disability discount.
