If You Move Home
Moving home can be an exciting but stressful time. There
are a lot of things to think about and plan for, including telling
the council that you have moved. It is very important you inform us
when you move as soon as possible. Your Council Tax payments
for the financial year must be paid by the 31 March so the earlier
you inform us, the sooner we will send you a bill and the more time
you will have to pay it.
We need to know:
- The names of yourself and your spouse or partner
- The address that you are moving from and the Council Tax
account number (if you were responsible for paying Council Tax at
that address)
- The date you moved out
- The date of sale of your old home if you were the owner or the
end date of your lease/tenancy if you were a tenant
- Your new address
- The date you moved in
- The date of purchase if you own your new home or start date of
your lease/tenancy if you are the tenant
I have bought (or sold) my home
If you were the owner of your old home and/or bought your new
one we need to know:
- The name of the person who bought your old home and their
previous address, if you know it
- Your solicitor's name and address
I am (or was) a tenant
If you rented your old home or are renting your new one we need
to know:
- The name of your landlord (and address if you know it)
- If the property you rented (or now rent) is furnished by your
landlord.
If you have dealings with other council departments you should
also notify them of your new address. You are obliged to inform
Election Services that you have moved.
