Self-contained annexes

You might be able to get a Council Tax discount self-contained annexes. In some cases you do not have to pay at all.

You can get a discount if you live in the annexe to a main property. For example, in a granny flat. You must be related to residents in the main property.

You can get an exemption if either:

  • you are dependent on a relative who lives in the main property, and the annexe is your main home
  • the annexe is unoccupied.
