Pay your Council Tax
There are a number of ways to pay your Council Tax.
Pay by Direct Debit
Direct Debit is the easiest and most convenient way to pay your Council Tax.
You can spread your payments over 10 or 12 months. You can also choose which day or week of the month to make your payment. We offer payment dates of 1st, 10th, 15th, 25th or 28th of each month or weekly every Friday.
To pay your Council Tax by Direct Debit you will need to sign or register for a Self Service account. Self Service is the simple and secure sign-in service for managing your Council Tax.
With a Self Service account, you can also:
- apply for a discount or exemption
- make a payment arrangement
- check your account and transactions and view the communications we have sent to you
- view Council Tax bands for properties in Derby.
