Change of address

Let us know if you, or someone that lives with you, changes their address.

This could be because:

someone moves in with you
someone moves out of your home
you move into (or out of) a property in Chesterfield

We will update your Council Tax account to make sure that you are paying the right amount, for the right address.

If you are a landlord you can tell us about a change of tenant here.

Do you claim Housing Benefit or Council Tax Support?

Please call us on 01246 345497 or email benefits@chesterfield.gov.uk to let us know that you are moving home or to tell us about other changes. You can't send us details online at the moment.

If you don't claim Housing Benefit or Council Tax support

You can tell us about a change of address online.

We will need to know:

who is moving and when
the old and new addresses
whether the properties are owned or rented
if anyone was claiming Housing Benefit, Council Tax Support or a Council Tax discount

We will also ask about any property owners or landlords involved in your chain, if there is one. If you don't have all the information available you can save your form and finish it later.

You can tell us about your change of address through your My Chesterfield account, where you can also manage your Council Tax account online.
