You must tell us about a change of owner, tenant or occupant of a property in Peterborough. This is so we can make sure the correct person pays council tax for that property.
How to tell us about a home move or change of tenant for council tax purposes
Please complete our online form to notify us if:
- You are moving into, within or out of Peterborough
- You are a landlord who needs to transfer council tax liability back to yourself or a new tenant
Please have the following information ready to add to the online form:
- Address of properties you are moving from and to
- Dates of purchase, completion, moving, tenancy start (whichever applies to you)
- Council tax account reference number for property in Peterborough you are moving from (if applicable)
- Landlord name, address and contact details (if applicable)
- Tenant name and forwarding address (if applicable)
What happens next
We aim to respond to you within two weeks.
Moving into Peterborough - if you are new to Peterborough, we will help you get set up with an account so you can start making council tax payments for your new property.
Moving within Peterborough - if you are moving within Peterborough, we will swap the property listed on your council tax account.
Moving out of Peterborough - if you are moving out of Peterborough, we will close your council tax account and send you a bill for any outstanding payment.
Change of tenant at a rental property in Peterborough - if you own a rental property and your tenant is changing, we can transfer the council tax liability to the new tenant or back to the landlord / property owner.
Moving into a property in Peterborough that doesn't yet have a council tax band - we will apply to the HMRC Valuation Office on your behalf to obtain a council tax band for the newly built or converted property that you're moving into. We'll then get you set up with an account so you can start making council tax payments for your new property.
