Unoccupied properties used by a charity

What you need to know

A property owned or leased by a registered charity that is unoccupied is exempt from council tax. This means you do not have to pay council tax for the property.

The property:

  • does not need to be clear of furniture
  • must have been last occupied by the charity
  • must have been used for delivering the charity's objectives

The exemption will be granted for up to six months from the date it became unoccupied.
