Coventry Council

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

Coventry City Council
Council House
Earl Street
CV1 5RR

  Phone Number
Housing benefit and council tax benefit 024 7683 2000
Council Tax 024 7683 1111
General enquiries 024 7683 3333

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.
