Tell us you're moving home

 

You must notify the Council of your change of address.

We need to know your address so we can send you an accurate Council Tax bill.

Tell us if you have already moved, or if you are moving in the next 21 days:

  • into Inverclyde
  • out of Inverclyde
  • to a different address within Inverclyde

 

Moving into Inverclyde

Tell us about your change of address if:

  • You are moving into the Inverclyde Council area and will be the owner, tenant or partner of the owner or tenant of the property; or
  • You were not liable for Council Tax at your old house (for example living with friends/relatives) but will be liable for Council Tax at your new address as you are the owner, tenant or partner of the owner or tenant of the property

Please complete the Change of Address form found in the related links section of this webpage. 

If you are not going to be the owner or tenant or the partner of the owner or tenant of the property you are moving to, you cannot complete our online Change of Address form. Instead, please contact us by email: council.tax@inverclyde.gov.uk or telephone 01475 717171. 

 

Moving within Inverclyde

Tell us about your change of address if:

  • You are the owner, tenant or partner of the owner or tenant of the property you are moving from; and
  • You will also be the owner, tenant or partner of the owner or tenant of the property you are moving to; and
  • Both properties are within the Inverclyde area

Please complete the Change of Address form found in the related links section of this webpage. 

We will update your account for your previous address and register you at your new address. You will need the address and postcode of both properties.

If you are not the owner, tenant or partner of the owner or tenant of any of the properties, you cannot complete our online form.  Instead, please contact us by email: council.tax@inverclyde.gov.uk or telephone 01475 717171. 

 

Moving out with Inverclyde

Tell us about your change of address if:

  • You are the owner, tenant or partner of the owner or tenant of the property; and

  • You will not be liable for Council Tax at your new home (for example you are moving in with friends/relatives)

Please complete the Change of Address form found in the related links section of this webpage. 

If you are not the owner, tenant or partner of the owner or tenant of the property you are vacating, you will not be able to complete our online form.  Instead, please contact us by email: council.tax@inverclyde.gov.uk or telephone 01475 717171. You will need the address and postcode of the property you are moving from.

 

Landlords – Change of Tenants

If you are a landlord or a managing agent for a dwelling within the Inverclyde Council area, you must notify us when either a tenancy ends, or a new tenancy commences. You can do this by completing a Change of Tenant Notification form, which can be found under the related links section of this webpage.

Before you begin

Before completing the online form, it is important you have all of the relevant details to hand. We will also ask you to upload documentary evidence, if possible, to confirm the details. This will ensure we are able to update our records accurately, apply the correct charges and confirm that the correct person is liable for Council Tax.

You will need:

  1. The full name(s) of the tenant(s)
  2. The date the tenancy commenced/ended
  3. Their previous or forwarding address, if known
  4. A copy of the signed tenancy agreement, if possible
  5. Evidence of the property being furnished or unfurnished between tenancies i.e. photographs, property schedules

Please be aware that if you are notifying the office of a retrospective tenancy, before any amendments can be made we may require a copy of the customer's signed lease, evidence of rental payments and any other supporting documentation you can provide to support the tenancy details. We may therefore contact you to ask for further documentary evidence. If this is not supplied, and we are unable to amend our records, you may be held responsible for the Council Tax charge.
