Council Tax: Frequently Asked Questions
Council Tax is a local tax which is set by Councils to help pay for local services and therefore the charge will vary from area to area. There is only one bill per dwelling whether it is a house, flat, mobile home or houseboat, whether it is owned or rented and whether it is occupied or not. The size of the bill depends on the value of the property relative to others in the local area and how many adults live there.
