Due to essential maintenance Council tax and benefit forms will be unavailable from 09:00 - 16:00 on Sat 20th April. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.
You’ve forgotten your username or Password
You cannot reset your password if you no longer have access to the email address you used to create the account.
You can reset your username and password from the main dashboard.
After you have asked us to reset your username or password, we will send you an email within around 15 minutes.
Hint: This email may go into your junk/spam folder, so don’t forget to check this folder for the email.
Hint: Check that you’re using the right format. For example, did you use a capital letter at the start of your security answer or your username?
It may also be helpful to know that to receive the email link you need to have entered your username and security answer in exactly the same format as when you set them up. If the details are not entered correctly, no e-mail can be issued, as the system cannot match what you have entered with the details held against your account.
After you’ve checked that you’re using the right format and you still cannot see the email in your inbox or junk/spam folder, you can use our contact form to request us to reset your account.
I get an error message when logging in
If the error message says, “Sorry your sign in has not been activated yet”, this means that you haven’t verified your email address. An email is sent to you from "Apps Team – Do not Reply", which includes a link to verify your email address to complete the final part of your registration.
Hint: The email may go into your junk/spam folder, so don’t forget to check this folder for the email.
The e-mail is only valid for 24 hours, so if you’ve not verified your e-mail to complete your registration within this period, you can use our contact form to request a new activation link, don’t forget to include the e-mail address that you’ve used to register your account when requesting a new activation link.
I haven't received a PIN number
When you add your council tax number to your account, you have the option to either “Access now” or “Enter PIN”.
Please choose the “Access now” option. If you are able to answer the verification questions, you will be able to access your account details without the need for us to send you a PIN letter.
Hint: The only time you will need to use the “Enter PIN” option is if you are unable to answer the verification questions presented when using the “Access now” option.
If this is the case, you will be presented with the option, “Send me a PIN”. The PIN letter will be sent to your registered postal address so that you can continue with your registration, normally within 2 working days.
We can’t give you a PIN number by email for security reasons.
Council tax accounts with more than one name
Each person wishing to access their council tax account will need to register independently.
Locked account
If your account is locked please get in touch using our contact form.
Please provide your username or email address that is linked to your account, so that we can unlock it for you.
Session timed out
For security reasons, you will be ‘timed out’, if you haven’t used your session for a period of time. A message will appear asking you to log in again.
Signing out
Once you’re finished using your account, click on username at the top right of the page and click Log out. Clicking your username and selecting My account allows you to change your password, security question and email address if needed.
