 Paying Your Bill

Summary

We offer a range of ways for you to pay your Council Tax Bill.

When to pay

Council Tax is due on April 1st each year. The amount you have to pay is divided up over a maximum of 10 monthly instalments (where the bill is issued before April 30th, bills issued after May 1st will receive a reduced number of instalments). Council Tax instalments are due on the first of each month and will be shown on your Council Tax bill, if we have not received your payment by the 10th of each month the Council may take recovery action against you (See: What Happens if You Don’t Pay).
