Moving from one address to another within the borough

Once you have told us, we'll close your old account and send you a bill for anything you still owe. If you have overpaid we can transfer the credit to the account for your new address or refund it to you.

Check the council tax charge for your new address.

You can transfer an existing garden waste membership, use our dedicated move your garden waste membership process on the manage my membership webpage and don't forget to take your brown bin with you.

Moving into the borough

Tell us straight away using the form above so you will have more time to pay your bill. You must pay it by 31 March.
We charge you from the date you moved in to your new home. Your old council will charge you up to the date you left their area - remember to tell them the date you moved so they get your charge right.

Check the council tax charge for your new address.

Moving out of the borough

We charge you up to the date you moved out. Your new council will charge you from the day you move into their area.

Remember to move your garden waste membership if moving in the borough or to cancel your garden waste membership separately if moving out of the borough, details found on the manage my membership webpage. As stated in the terms and conditions, the membership cannot be cancelled via Council Tax.

Benefits

If you are in receipt of Council Tax Support or Housing Benefit, then please notify the Benefits department of your change of address separately.
