    Councils in Wales have the discretion to charge up to a 300% Council Tax premium on long term empty properties and second homes. The introduction of a premium is designed to encourage owners to bring these properties back into full use to address local housing needs, support the increase of affordable housing for purchase or let and enhance the appearance of local communities.

    This means that you may be liable, in the future, to pay council tax for this property at the standard rate plus an additional premium charge. There are some exceptions to the premium that may apply these are listed below along with an application form if you feel you are eligible for an exception to the premium.

    Exceptions for Long-term Empty homes and Second homes








    Class 1 – Dwellings being marketed for sale – exception available for a maximum of 12 months.
