Post office or Payzone

You can pay your council tax at any Post Office or Payzone using a swipe card. Please note if you pay by this method your payment will take a number of days to reach your account. For more information about Payzone or to find your nearest point please visit the Payzone website.

Standing order

You can set up a standing order at your bank using the Council's bank details.

Please make sure that your council tax payments are received by the due date to avoid getting a reminder. A maximum of 2 reminders are sent in any one year after which the instalment facility is cancelled and the whole years charge becomes payable.
