Apply for this exemption if you have moved because you are caring for someone and your old property is now unoccupied.
Before you start
Only apply for this exemption if:

- Your old property was your main or only residence and you were not able to give care while living at your old property.
You will need
- Council tax account number
- Supporting documents to show you are living somewhere else
- Reason care is being given.
