How to pay
You can pay your council tax and non-domestic rates by:
Direct debit
Direct debit is the easy way to pay your bill. With no forms to payment dates in the month, it has never been easier to pay by direct debit. This method of payment avoids the hassle of receiving any reminders for late payment.
Cash/cheque
Pay by cash/cheque at a bank or council offices or by post.
Online
E-services offers a convenient and secure way to pay your council tax using a debit card. See online payments.
Debit card
Use your debit card to pay by telephone using the automated telephone service (0191 424 6468) or at any of the council's cashiers office.
New for this year (piloted in Whitburn), paying with cash at any paypoint outlet.
