What are the consequences of not providing data?

Council Tax is administered under statutory provisions. If data is not provided we may be unable to send an accurate Council Tax bill and entitlement to reductions may be lost. We may have to take enforcement action where information is not provided as required within regulations.

Data sharing

If you are moving from one property to another within the South Norfolk area and will still be responsible for paying Council Tax*, please tell us so that we can make the changes to your Council Tax account.

(*If you'll no longer be responsible for paying Council Tax at your next address - for example you're moving back in with parents or lodging with friends and it's simply a c/o address - please complete the "Moving out of the South Norfolk area" form instead).

Tell us if you are moving into a property in the South Norfolk area as you will need to register with us to pay Council Tax.

If you are moving out of the South Norfolk area please complete this form so that we can amend your account and send you a final bill. If your final bill shows that you are in credit there is no need for you to contact us to request a refund as it will be issued automatically to you within 28 days.
