Council tax funds a range of essential local services delivered by Lichfield District Council, Staffordshire County Council, as well as local policing, fire and rescue services, and parish or town councils.

These organisations use council tax income to support services such as waste collection, highways maintenance, social care, community safety, and other local priorities.

If you live within the district, you are normally legally liable to pay council tax.

This applies unless your council tax is included in your rent, you qualify for an exemption, or you are entitled to a reduction in your bill - find out more about discounts and exemptions
