1. Single person discount, empty unfurnished properties, properties in need of (or undergoing) major structural repair work, disabled band reduction, annexes occupied by a relative or used as part of the main residence. Find out more about discounts
2. Occupants may be disregarded for the purposes of council tax. Find out more about discounts and disregards
3. Property may be exempt from council tax. Find out more about exemption classes
