Find out what discounts, reductions or exemptions you may be able to get to reduce your Council Tax bill for an unoccupied property or purpose-built holiday home.
Unoccupied unfurnished property (except for fixtures and fittings)
You could get:
- A 100% discount, for up to 6 months, if the property becomes empty after it was occupied as a sole or main home for at least 3 months.
- A 50% discount, for a further 6 months, if the property is still empty after 6 months, but you'll have to pay any water and sewerage charges due.
