Council Tax empty levy charge and exemptions

Second homes

There is no discount for:

  • second homes (furnished properties that are not used as a main residence)
  • holiday homes
  • properties left vacant
  • empty properties that require repair

In some instances, dependent on why the property is empty, we can grant an exemption from having to pay Council Tax.
