Belfast Council

If you have a council tax or benefit enquiry, you’ll need to contact Belfast Council on one of the helpline numbers listed below.

Belfast City Council
City Hall
Belfast
BT1 5GS

  Phone Number
Housing benefit and council tax benefit 028 9032 0202
Council Tax 028 9032 0202
General enquiries 028 9032 0202

If you’re experiencing financial difficulties, you must make sure you continue to manage your priority payments such as Council Tax, rent/mortgage and utilities, even if it means you cannot meet your monthly unsecured credit commitments.

That’s because the consequences of not managing your priority payments are much more severe. You should always contact your local council if you are struggling as you may be entitled to help paying your Council Tax.
