Service request

Tell us about a change to your name or household size for council tax

What you need to tell us

You need to let us know if:

  • you've legally changed your name
  • the number of people living in your home aged 18 or older has changed.

This will help us keep accurate records and ensure that we charge you the correct amount of council tax.

Before you tell us

To tell us about a name change, you'll need proof of the name change, such as a marriage certificate.

To tell us about a change to your household size, you'll need the details of the person moving in or out, including their new or previous address.

Ideally, tell us about these changes as soon as you can provide us with your proof.
