Oxford Council

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

Oxford City Council
109 Saint Aldate's
Oxford
OX1 1DS

  Phone Number
Housing benefit and council tax benefit 01865 252 849
Council Tax 01865 252 870
General enquiries 01865 249 811

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.
