Job-related property

How is a property classed as job-related and how much Council Tax is charged.

A job related property is a property which is owned or tenanted by a person whose sole or main residence is a different property which is for that person job related.

The circumstances where a property is classed as job related include:

  • Where it is necessary for the employee to reside in the property for the proper performance of their duties, or
  • Where the property is provided for the better performance of the duties of the employment and it is customary for employers to provide such a property to the employees, or
  • Where a person or their partner is a minister of religion and it is necessary for that person to reside in the property for the performance of their duties.

A job-related property receives a 50% Council Tax discount. You will be charged full water and waste water for the band the property is in.

To apply for this please email the Council Tax team (opens new window) with the details and any relevant evidence.
