Monthly payments

All council tax payments are due on the first of each month (unless payment is made by direct debit, in which case you have a choice of four payment dates):

  • 1st
  • 10th
  • 15th
  • 25th

It's your responsibility to ensure payments reach us by the due dates.

If you want to pay later in the month, at the start of the council tax year you should pay April's instalment at the end of March, May's instalment at the end of April and so on. This will ensure your account does not fall into arrears and will prevent recovery action.
