What to do with Council Tax when someone dies

If you are now a sole occupier

Where a property was previously occupied by 2 adults, the Council Tax might have been in both names or under the name of one of the occupants.

If you have let us know that someone has passed away and this leaves you as a sole occupier, we will transfer the account to your name and give you a 25% discount.
