Introduction

Use this form to apply for a Class J exemption, where the property has been left unoccupied because the person who pays the Council Tax has gone to provide care.

If any other adults live in the property, this exemption won't apply. If only one adult is left then you can apply for a single person discount.

Please continue to pay your Council Tax as billed while we deal with your application. Recovery action may be taken if you don't pay.
