Empty properties
Direct debits
We're updating our council tax account numbers as we merge systems from 4 into 1. When we do this, we will update your direct debit details automatically:
- you won't need to take action
- the date the direct debit is taken won't change
- the amount won't change
We've recently updated council tax accounts in the Kettering area and sent letters which will provide full information.
Empty properties are charged at the full rate of council tax with further premiums in addition to the base rate in the long-term:
- 100% premium for 2 to 5 years
- 200% premium for 5 to 10 years
- 300% premium for 10+ years
You need to let us know if your property is empty.
Why information is on a different website
We are in the process of adding information to this new unitary council website. Some pages will give you a link back to a previous council website to help you find what you need. Read more about the council changes.
