Council Tax - changes to your household

Homeowners and tenants

If you are a new or existing homeowner or tenant who is moving home or has changed address, 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 haven't moved yet, please wait until you have as plans can change.

Someone has moved in or out or someone who lived with you has died

If someone has moved in with you and there are now two or more adults living in the property, and you are currently receiving a single person discount on your Council Tax, you can cancel your single person discount by selecting the Cancel or apply for a single person discount button below.

If someone has moved out, or if someone who lived with you has died, and you are now the only adult living in the property, you can apply for a single person discount by selecting the Cancel or apply for a single person discount button below.

If the last occupant of the property has died and the property is now empty, please follow the guidance on the link below.

To report any other changes to your household, please complete our changes to your household form below. 

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.
