Second Homes
What is a second home and how much Council Tax is charged.
A second home is a property which is no one's sole or main residence, is furnished and occupied for at least 25 days during a 12 month period. From 1 April 2024, a second home is charged twice the full Council Tax charge for the band the property is in.
This affects Council Tax charges only, the amount you are charged for water and waste water will still be the same.
If your property is classed as a second home we will review this status from time to time. When requested to do so you will be able to complete your review form online.
