Slough Borough Council

I have bought a property but have not moved in yet because it is uninhabitable – do I have to pay?

Dependent on the state of the property, the council will want to inspect the property before allowing the exemption and at regular intervals whilst the exemption is in force.  The exemption may cease during the year because either the exemption is time limited or your circumstances or those relating to the property have changed.  It is the responsibility of the Taxpayer to notify the council of any changes in circumstances that may effect the exemption allowed. 

For further information please visit the Customer Service Centre or contact the council tax team on 01753 875323/4.

If the Council Tax payer dies what happens to any outstanding bills or overpayments.

It depends if anyone is liable for the property eg, husband/wife.

Please contact the council tax department on 01753 875323/4 or email counciltax@slough.gov.uk for further information.
