Second home discount

A second home is defined as not a main home, but is furnished.

The discount for a second home is 5%, meaning that those liable for paying the Council Tax must pay 95% of the full charge. Where second homes are related to a person’s job a 50% discount may apply.

When applying you will be asked to attach relevant documents and information. You will be given an application number so you can log back into complete the form.

Apply for second home discount
