Property annexes
Property annexes that are unoccupied
If your annexe has a council tax band and:
- it is unoccupied
- there is planning permission in place. This must say that the property can only be used as 'ancillary accommodation'
The annexe will be exempt from council tax. This means you don't have to pay council tax for the annexe.
How to apply

- click the 'council tax and benefits' tile
- select 'continue' on the 'view other services' page

- if you're using a mobile device, click 'quick links'
- in the list of quick links find 'apply for or cancel an exemption'
