Preston Council

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

Preston City Council
Town Hall
Preston
PR1 2RL

  Phone Number
Housing benefit and council tax benefit 01772 906 903
Council Tax 01772 906 902
General enquiries 01772 906 900

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.
