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.

I’m a landlord and need to tell you my tenants are moving

If you’re a landlord, use the forms on our landlords page. If you’re a managing agent, give the actual landlord's 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.

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.
