Council tax - collection and enforcement
Council tax final notice
A final notice is issued after either a first reminder has not been settled or where a second reminder has been settled and further payment has been defaulted upon.
When a final notice is issued, the right to pay the remainder of the year's balance by instalments is withdrawn, and the full balance is due and payable immediately.
Will I be able to pay by instalments in the future?
Yes, at the beginning of each financial year, all council tax payers have the right to pay by monthly instalments.
I am unable to pay the full amount, what other options do I have?
We may be able to consider a direct debit repayment agreement subject to court action and your past repayment history. Please contact the Council Tax Team on 01455 255791 to discuss your circumstances further.
