If you are the only adult living in your property, you can apply for a sole occupier discount of 25% off your bill.
The sole occupier discount can be awarded where there is only one adult over the age of 18 living at the property. This will give a council tax reduction of 25%.
There is usually no discount if 2 or more adults live in your home. However, certain people are not counted because of their circumstances. These people are termed 'disregarded'.
If there is only one adult living in the property after we have excluded the 'disregarded' people, you will be entitled to a discount of 25%.
If all occupants are disregarded you will be entitled to a 50% discount or possibly an exemption.
The following people are 'disregarded' or 'not counted' when we work out council tax discounts:
You can only get this discount based on your normal living situation. You can not get it if other people usually live with you but are away on a temporary basis. For example, you can not get this discount for the times when the other residents are on holiday or are working away from home.
If you or someone you live with has a disability, you may be entitled to a reduction in the amount of council tax you pay. This is called a reduction for disabilities.
To apply for a sole occupier discount, or severely mentally impaired disregard, please complete this online form at the bottom of the page.
If you are a listed above as a disregarded person, please email croyctax@croydon.gov.uk with the relevant evidence to support your application.
We will process your application as soon as possible. Applications can take up to 4 weeks to be processed.
