Your Council Tax account
Pay your Council Tax
Set up a Direct Debit
If you set up a Direct Debit to pay your Council Tax, we will automatically take the money out of your bank account every month on a certain date that you choose. The options for the payment date each month that you can choose from are the 1st, 8th, 15th or 22nd.
The Direct Debit Guarantee is offered by all banks and building societies that accept instructions to pay Direct Debits. For further information on Direct Debit, please visit the Direct Debit website.
Pay online
You can pay your Council Tax account through our online payments system.
Telephone
You can pay your Council Tax by phone at any time by calling our automated payment line. Please note you will need your debit or credit card number and your Council Tax account number.
PayPoint, PayZone or Post Office
If you want to pay your Council Tax in person with cash or a debit card, you can go to any Post Office, or any store which displays the PayPoint or PayZone logos. You will also need to have your Council Tax bill with you as you need to scan the barcode on it to pay.
Please note that these payments can take an extra five days to reach our account, so you need to make sure that you won’t be missing the payment date shown on your Council Tax bill.
