Annexe discount

Apply for 50% off your bill if you have a self-contained annexe or 'granny flat' that a relative lives in.

You may receive a 50% Council Tax discount if you have a self-contained annexe or granny flat. 

It must be a separate living area to your main house. 

You’ll qualify if it’s lived in by a relative or resident of the main house.

Check if your annexe is banded as a separate area with GOV.UK's Council Tax band checker tool.

You must continue paying while we decide and cancel your discount if your situation changes.
