Council Tax reminder notices

What you need to do if you receive a reminder notice for Council Tax.

If you don’t pay your Council Tax on time we will send you a reminder notice. This will tell you to make a payment within seven days and make future payments on time.

We will send you a second reminder notice if you miss another Council Tax payment.

You will only get a maximum of two reminder notices in a financial year. This runs from April 1 to March 31 of the next year.

If you miss a payment for the third time in a financial year, you will receive a final notice saying you must pay the whole year’s Council Tax.

If you have had a reminder letter from us because you have not paid your council tax bill, you can:

You can spread your payments over 12 months instead of the usual 10 to reduce the amount you are asked to pay on each bill.
