Information for customers calling about council tax

Due to technical difficulties, our customer services team is not currently able to access details about individual customer council tax accounts.

Due to high call volumes we politely request that customers visit their account online if possible to make a payment or pay by an alternative method. For information about ways to pay your bill please visit: www.harborough.gov.uk/council-tax
