Plymouth Council

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

Plymouth City Council
Civic Centre
Royal Parade
PL1 2AA

  Phone Number
Housing benefit and council tax benefit 01752 668 000
Council Tax 01752 668 000

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.
