Council Tax
Council Tax is a property based tax which is payable on most domestic properties. A domestic property is usually a house or a flat but it also means other types of property where people can live such as a houseboat, a caravan, or a 'granny flat' for instance.
Some of the Council Tax which we collect we keep to help to pay for the services we provide. The remainder is collected by us on behalf of Hampshire County Council, Hampshire Constabulary, Hampshire Fire and Rescue and in most cases the parishes.
**NEW** Changes to Council Tax discounts for second homes and empty properties from 1st April 2013

How much does it cost ?
East Hampshire has 40 parishes, and each parish may set its own precept (council tax) which means the total amount will vary.
