If your address or circumstances change, you must tell us.
Please note, the information on this page is only related to Council Tax. If you're getting Housing Benefit or Council Tax Reduction, please visit the benefits section to report a change of address or circumstances.
Change of address
You can use your Council Tax account to tell us if you've:
- moved into Middlesbrough
- moved to a different property in Middlesbrough
- moved out of Middlesbrough
Landlords can also use their Council Tax account to tell us if a tenant has moved house.
If you're struggling to change your address in your Council Tax account, you can view help on changing your address (tenant or property owner).
Change of circumstances
If all adults have moved out of your home and you now live alone, or only with children under 18, you can get single person discount. Use your Council Tax account to apply.
If you're currently getting single person discount, and another adult moves into your home, you can use your Council Tax account to cancel your single person discount.
If your income has changed and you're now on a low income, you might be able to get Council Tax Reduction. Find out more and apply for Council Tax Reduction.
If you, or the other person over 18 in your household if there is only one, become a full-time student, you can get a discount on your Council Tax. Apply for a student exemption.
If you or someone else in the house has developed a severe mental impairment and get certain disability benefits, you can get a discount on your Council Tax. Examples of severe mental impairment include dementia, severe memory loss, a learning disability, a chronic mental illness, Parkinson's, or having suffered a stroke. Apply for a severe mental impairment discount.
Depending on your circumstances, you may be able to get other Council Tax discounts or exemptions.
