Council Tax - People living in hospitals or residential care homes

If you wish to claim a reduction in your Council Tax bill, please go to Council Tax - Online Forms.

You might be able to apply for a discount or exemption on your Council Tax bill if you or someone you live with lives in hospital or a care home as their main residence.

We would need to know:

  • the address of the hospital or care home
  • the date the individual first went into the home or hospital (such as the start of the assessment period for residential homes)
  • whether or not the stay is permanent
