Schedule your payment date
Paying by Direct Debit means your Council Tax is collected automatically on a date you choose. Payments are protected by the Direct Debit Guarantee, helping you avoid late or missed payments.
You can also choose to manage your Council Tax through a secure online account, where you can view your bill, check your balance and go paperless if you wish.
Set up your account today
Set up a Direct Debit or an online account by visiting our Council Tax page.
