Bradford Council
If you have a council tax or benefit enquiry, you’ll need to contact Bradford Council on one of the helpline numbers listed below.
Bradford City Council
City Hall
Centenary Square
BD1 1HY
| Phone Number | |
| Housing benefit and council tax benefit | 01274 432 772 |
| Council Tax | 01274 437 866 |
| General enquiries | 01274 432 111 |
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.
