Southampton Council

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

Southampton City Council
Civic Centre
Southampton
SO14 7LY

  Phone Number
Housing benefit and council tax benefit 023 8083 3006
Council Tax 023 8083 2349
General enquiries 023 8083 3000

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.
