Council Tax - changes to your household

Tell us about a change of address

If you are a new or existing owner or tenant, you can tell us

• you have moved into South Lanarkshire
• you have moved out of South Lanarkshire
• you have moved from one address to another within South Lanarkshire

If you are moving into an existing household, for example, moving in with your partner, family or friends, they should complete our change to household form. 

If you haven't moved yet, please wait until you have as plans can change.

Are you an agent, landlord or solicitor?  

If you are an agent, landlord or solicitor reporting a house sale or a change in tenancy, please complete our change of details form below.

Someone has moved in or out or someone has died

If someone has moved in or out of your property or someone who lived with you has died, please complete our change to household form below. If the last occupant of the property has died and the property is now empty, please complete the relevant form on our Unoccupied exemptions and discounts page. 

Council tenants must also notify their local Housing office of any changes to their household. Further information is available on our Changing your tenancy pages.

Council Tax liability for Houses in Multiple Occupancy (HMO)

Owners of a House in Multiple Occupancy (HMO) are legally liable for payment of the Council Tax, not the tenants. This is regardless of any provision which might be included in the lease about Council Tax payment. Further information is available on our Council Tax and Houses in Multiple Occupancy (HMO) page. 

Change of circumstances - Housing Benefit or Council Tax Reduction

If you get Housing Benefit or Council Tax Reduction, you must tell us about any changes to your household, so we can review your entitlement and make sure you are receiving the correct benefit. Please see our Housing Benefit and Council Tax Reduction page to report any changes. 

Provide evidence

If you have been asked to provide evidence to support a change to your household or a change of address, please see our Council Tax evidence page.
