Welcome to Council Tax

Council Tax is collected to help pay for local services. Each household within the Tendring District is assigned to a banding and your bill is based upon the assumption that there are two adults living there. If you are the only adult living in a property you will qualify for a discount of 25%, but other discounts are available for those with special circumstances.

For information on other discounts and exemptions please click here.

For information on appeals against your banding please click here.
