Class A - Properties Which are Uninhabitable or Needing Major Repair Works
Unoccupied properties which need or are undergoing major repairs work, or structural alterations to make them habitable are exempt for payment of Council Tax for up to 12 months. If the property remains empty once this initial 12 month period has passed, a 10% Discount will be granted so that Council Tax will be charged at 90% of the full charge.
Circumstances when this exemption has been granted include subsidence or major fire or flood damage.
To apply for this exemption please contact Revenue Services to advise us of:
- The date from which the property became uninhabitable
- The condition of the property and the nature of the work required.
- An address and telephone number where we may contact you, as we may need to see inside the property.
All empty properties are inspected periodically.
