If there is a change in circumstance with your council tax, you must inform Erewash Borough Council immediately. For example, if you move address or you are no longer entitled to a discount or exemption, you must let us know.

Councils have powers to impose penalties where a person is required by law to provide information.  If a person either fails to provide information, or supplies information which he/she knows to be false, Erewash Borough Council can charge a penalty of £70 up to £280.

You can tell us about some changes using our online forms.  If a property is unoccupied, we will also need to know if it is substantially unfurnished or not, as you may qualify for an Exemption.

You can use your My Erewash account to:

  • Tell us about a Change of Address. If you are in receipt of Housing Benefit and/or Council Tax Support please use the Benefits - Change of Circumstances form instead.

  • Apply for, or remove Single Persons Discount.  Please note:  You will be directed to create an online account first as this is now necessary to claim this discount.

  • Apply for Exemption/Discount. Please note: you will be directed to create an online account first as this is now necessary to claim this discount.

  • If you are a Landlord and want to tell us about a change in tenancy in one of your properties you can complete the Change in Tenancy Form. 
  • If you own a house and there has been a change in ownership that doesn't fall under the above categories, please complete the Change of Ownership Form.
