Person living elsewhere to provide personal care

Unoccupied exemption class J

An unoccupied property where the last occupier who paid the Council Tax has moved to provide care for someone. If they have moved to provide care for someone due to old age, disablement, illness, alcohol or drug dependence, or a mental disorder, the property can be made exempt for Council Tax, providing no one else lives there.

You will need to provide a letter from the cared person’s GP explaining why you need to live elsewhere to provide care. Without the full information and all supporting documents we will not be able to award the exemption.
