Council Tax Disregards

Resident in a care home

If a person has moved from their home to live in a care home, leaving only one adult in the property, and there is no intention for them to return home, the 25% sole occupancy discount can be applied.

To apply for this discount in these circumstances you will need to tell us:

  • the name and address of the care home
  • the date the person took up residence there

If the person was in hospital and then moved straight from the hospital to the care home, the discount can be awarded from the date the person was admitted into hospital.
