Single resident discount

If you are the only person over the age of 18 living in a property you may be eligible for a discount of 25%.

You can only claim this discount for your main home. You cannot claim it for a second home.

If someone has moved out temporarily, for example the person is working away or is on holiday and only comes back sometimes, your property is still that person’s main home and you are not eligible for the single resident discount.

You will need to cancel your discount if you are no longer the only person over 18 living in the property. You may be entitled to another Council Tax discount, for example if someone in the property is over 18 and is still in full time education.
