Bolton Council

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

Bolton Council
Town Hall
Victoria Square
BL1 1RU

  Phone Number
Housing benefit and council tax benefit 01204 331 590
Council Tax 01204 331 599
General enquiries 01204 333 333

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.
