A pitch which is not occupied by a caravan, or a mooring which is not occupied by a boat, is exempt while it remains empty.
You'll need to pay Council Tax on caravan pitches and boat moorings if you live in the caravan or boat and it's your sole or main home.
You'll need to apply for the exemption. You will not get it automatically.
You must pay Council Tax while you wait for us to decide if you're eligible for a discount. If you do not pay, we'll start the Council Tax recovery process.
Who can apply
The person who's liable to pay Council Tax can apply.
What you need to apply
You'll need to fill in and send us the application form with proof that you're eligible for the exemption. You'll need to tell us:
- the Council Tax account number
- the address of the pitch or mooring
- your name
- your preferred contact details
Proof we need
We need a letter to confirm:
- that the pitch or mooring is unoccupied
- the date that the pitch or mooring became unoccupied
We may contact you to arrange an inspection.
