Derby Council

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

Derby City Council
Council House
Corporation Street
DE1 2FS

  Phone Number
Housing benefit and council tax benefit 01332 255 122
Council Tax 0333 200 6900
General enquiries 01332 293 111

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.
