Your council tax is based on the band of your property (set by the Lanarkshire Valuation Joint Board) and the number of adult residents.
There is only one council tax bill per household whether it is owned, rented or empty.
Water charges are included in your council tax bill. These are set by Scottish Water and collected by us on their behalf. These charges pay for essential water and sewerage services. If you have a septic tank or private water supply, you may be exempt from water or wastewater charges, contact your Benefit and council tax call centre for details.
Your council tax charges are unchanged from 2010/11. While water and wastewater charges are unchanged in total, there is a slight variation to the allocation of the charges.
The council tax financial year runs from 1 April to 31 March and is payable between April to January in respect of any year (10 monthly instalments).
You can pay your council tax online. To do this you will need:
- Your 9 digit council tax reference number
- Your account name; this is the name on your council tax card or bill
You cannot currently access your account details online. If you would like to know your council tax account balance, please contact the Benefits and council tax call centre.
