If you are moving to Bournemouth, Christchurch or Poole, you can use our online form to register for Council Tax.
You will need:
- your bank details to set up a Direct Debit to pay your Council Tax
- your Council Tax account number if you’re moving
- the landlord's or agent's details and any joint tenant details if you're a tenant
- solicitor's and any joint owner's details if you're the owner
If you are moving into or within the area and have not previously claimed Council Tax Support but would like to, do not wait for your Council Tax bill before applying as you may lose a reduction you are entitled to.
You must not withhold payments of your Council Tax while you wait to hear the outcome of your application. If you are not able to meet the full instalment, contact us to discuss a temporary arrangement.
