We are responsible for collecting Council Tax from residents within East Lindsey, and the money we collect is used to help pay for local services.
Only a small amount of the money we collect from you is spent by us. The largest percentage is given to Lincolnshire County Council, with Lincolnshire Police Authority taking the second largest share. We also collect money on behalf of Parish and Town Councils, and this is included in your Council Tax charge.
There are more than 64,000 households in our district and the average Council Tax bill for a Band D property is £1,323.45.
More information about Council Tax in East Lindsey, including information about where your money is spent, is available in our booklet, ‘Your Guide to Council Tax’.
Our commitment to protecting your information
Any information you give us will be used according to the law, in particular the Data Protection Act 1998.
We have a duty to protect the money we collect, and to make sure our records are up to date. One way we do this is to take part in data matching exercises that are carried out by the Audit Commission. These exercises help to prevent and detect fraud.
