Second home review
We are undertaking a review of all second homes across the borough to determine whether properties remain second homes.
From 1 April 2025, properties that are substantially furnished and owned or rented in addition to a main home will be subject to a 100% premium.
The maximum Council Tax charge in these cases would be a standard 100% charge plus a premium of 100%, making a total Council Tax charge of 200%.
We are in the process of contacting all customers whose properties we have recorded as second homes, asking them to confirm their current circumstances. This enables us to keep our records up to date and allows residents to notify us if there has been a change in their circumstances.
Respond to the review within 21 days to ensure the correct amount of Council Tax is being charged.
