Moving home?

Use our change of address form to tell us if you are moving in/out or selling/buying a property in the Bradford Metropolitan District Council area.

If you’re unsure who is liable to pay Council Tax at a property, look at our Council Tax liability page.

Report a tenant moving in or out of your property

If you are a landlord, you can use the forms on our landlord information page to tell us a tenant has moved in or out. If you are a managing agent, you can also use this form but, where landlord details are requested, you should enter the actual landlords' name and address, not your own agency details.

Scam aware

Do not use other websites that offer to forward details of your change of address to us in return for a fee. These websites may not be genuine and we may not receive any details from them.

Change of name

You can tell us about a change of name if you are an existing Council Taxpayer and you have changed your name, for example, due to marriage.

If the name on the Council Tax bill is wrong because someone has moved in or out, or sold the property, then you should use our change of address form.

If you are requesting a name to be added to an account, you should look at the information about who is liable for Council Tax on our Council Tax liability page.
