Sign up for an online account 

To manage your council tax online you first need to sign up for an online account.

If you already have an online account, you can log in below.

An online council tax account allows you to: 

• View your council tax details
• Sign up to receive your future bills by email
• View previous bills
• Check your account balance
• Set up or amend a direct debit
• Make a payment
• View any payments you’ve made
• Find out when your future payments are due
• Tell us about a change of address
• Apply for a discount or exemption
• Find out your council tax band

As soon as you have registered your online account you can then link your council tax account.

To link your council tax account, you will need your council tax reference number which you can find on your bill. This is a 9-digit number starting with a 3.

You can also add other services to your account such as housing benefits, business rates and landlord services.
