Tell us about a change of occupancy or address

You need to let us know if you plan to, or have moved into, within or out of the Doncaster area, or if there is a change in your household, as this will affect the Council Tax you need to pay.

Moving into the Doncaster area

If you are moving into Doncaster from another area or if you were not responsible for Council Tax at your previous address, or need to register to pay Council Tax for the first time (for example you were living with your parents), please complete this form.

you need to register to pay Council Tax for the first time.
you were not responsible for paying Council Tax at your previous address e.g. you were living with parents, as a lodger, or in a house of multiple occupation.

Are you on a low income? You might qualify for Council Tax Reduction.

After reporting your change of address, don't forget that if you have a low income, you may be entitled to some help with your Council Tax. Our Council Tax Support scheme can pay all or part of your Council Tax. The amount of help you get generally depends on your income and savings and the income and savings of anyone else who lives in your home.
