The last occupier has died
Where a property is left unoccupied by the death of the last resident an exemption may be granted.
- The deceased must have held a freehold or leasehold interest for six months or more.
- There must be no other person who would be liable for council tax.
- The exemption may be granted from the death of the resident until the grant of probate or letters of administration has been made, and for a further six months, as long as the property remains empty.
Other restrictions apply.
If you would like to apply for a reduction, please email us at local.taxation@barnet.gov.uk. Please quote the address to which the exemption will apply, the council tax account number if known, and your contact details.
