Add someone to your council tax account

If you want to report a change of occupants, see Tell us someone has moved in or out of your home.

If you want to add an existing occupant to your current council tax account, see below.

Whether we can include someone on the bill depends on their status within the property.

To find out if someone should be on the bill, see Who is responsible for paying the council tax?

You can request to have your partner's name added if you are:

You will need to provide one of the following documents:

If there are joint tenants who are not named on your bill, please send your tenancy agreement.

If someone named on the bill has moved out, please confirm:

If a joint owner lives in the property and is not named on the bill, please provide proof of ownership. This could be:

Add someone who is not a partner, joint tenant or joint owner

If the person does not meet the above criteria, it is unlikely we can include them on the bill.

We can't include all occupants on bills. For example, we cannot include someone if they are living with:

their parent(s) who own the property
their parent(s) who rent the property unless they are a joint tenant
the owner(s) of the property unless they are a joint owner
the tenant(s) on the tenancy agreement unless they also sign the tenancy agreement

Sometimes a disregarded occupant will not appear on the bill. Examples of when this can happen include:

We may remove a disregarded student from the bill for the duration of their course. They will remain a named occupier.
We may remove someone who is disregarded due to a severe mental impairment. They will remain a named occupier.
