Luton Council
If you have a council tax or benefit enquiry, you’ll need to contact Luton Council on one of the helpline numbers listed below.
Luton Borough Council
Town Hall
George Street
LU1 2BQ
| Phone Number | |
| Housing benefit and council tax benefit | 01582 510 345 |
| Council Tax | 01582 510 350 |
| General enquiries | 01582 546 000 |
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.
