Bristol Council

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

Bristol City Council
The Council House
College Green
BS1 5TR

  Phone Number
Housing benefit and council tax benefit 0117 922 2300
Council Tax 0117 922 2900
General enquiries 0117 922 2000

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.
