Norwich Council
If you have a council tax or benefit enquiry, you’ll need to contact Norwich Council on one of the helpline numbers listed below.
Norwich City Council
City Hall
Norwich
NR2 1NH
| Phone Number | |
| Housing benefit and council tax benefit | 0344 980 3333 |
| Council Tax | 0344 980 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.
