Introduction

Use this form to apply for a second home discount.

Second home discounts can only be awarded for caravans, boats or job-related homes.

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.

You won't qualify for the 50% discount for a job-related second home:

• if your second home is convenient for your place of work but you aren't required by your employer to live in that specific property to perform the duties of your employment. There must be a direct link between your job and the property, such as caretaker, pub landlord, school teacher
• unless both your properties are in England, Wales or Scotland
• if you're not the liable person for Council Tax at your main home and the second property (unless the property is provided by the Ministry of Defence or for occupation by a minister of religion to perform their duties)
• if you are a director or a partner in the company providing the accommodation (unless you're a full time working director/partner or the company is non-profit making or charitable)
