Brighton Council

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

Brighton & Hove City Council
King's House
Grand Avenue
BN3 2LS

  Phone Number
Housing benefit and council tax benefit 01273 292 000
Council Tax 01273 291 291
General enquiries 01273 290 000

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.
