Unoccupied Annexes
If your annexe is unoccupied and has a planning condition preventing it being used independently to the main property, then you may qualify for exempt Class T (unoccupied annexe). Contact us at counciltax@e-lindsey.gov.uk providing details and the planning reference.
If you qualify for a Council Tax reduction you must tell us within 21 days if there is a change that might affect it. We can impose a £70 penalty if you do not tell us about a change.
