Dundee Council
If you have a council tax or benefit enquiry, you’ll need to contact Dundee Council on one of the helpline numbers listed below.
Dundee City Council
21 City Square
Dundee
DD1 3DB
| Phone Number | |
| Housing benefit and council tax benefit | 01382 431 205 |
| Council Tax | 01382 431 205 |

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.
