York Council

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

City of York Council
Library Square
York
YO1 7DU

  Phone Number
Housing benefit and council tax benefit 01904 551 556
Council Tax 01904 551 558
General enquiries 01904 551 550

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.
