Council Tax: Frequently Asked Questions
What happens about empty properties?
If a property is empty the person normally responsible for paying may qualify for exemption or a discount. The owner must pay 90% of the Council Tax for empty properties unless it is exempt for any reason (the first 6 months are always exempt where a property is unoccupied and unfurnished).
