Help in paying your Council Tax

HELP is available to residents on low incomes who are finding it difficult paying their Council Tax.

From time to time, some residents face financial difficulties and this is something that Horsham District Council fully appreciates and offers help to those who are eligible.

Many residents are not aware that there are 23 different situations in which homes could be exempt from Council Tax.

These may include empty homes that are unfurnished, a house undergoing structural repair to make it fit for habitation, or homes that are occupied only by students or severely mentally impaired people.

A full list is available in the 'Council Tax Explained' leaflet which was recently circulated to all homes in the Horsham District, from the Council website (www.horsham.gov.uk) or from the Council's offices.
