Council Tax: Change of address / circumstances

Don't forget to tell us!
You must tell us immediately of a change in your circumstances. Failure to do so may result in a Council Tax Penalty being imposed. If you disagree with a penalty imposed on you, you may wish to discuss it with us first.

Alternatively, you may appeal direct to the Valuation Tribunal Wales. You may also want to tell these services that you are moving: , Elections, Social Services, Benefits
