Young people who were in the care of any council in the UK can qualify for a council tax exemption between the ages of 18 and 24.

To qualify the young person must:

  • Pay council tax to City of Wolverhampton Council
  • Be aged over 18 but under 25
  • Be a care leaver. This includes those who received care outside the city but who live in Wolverhampton
  • If you received care from City of Wolverhampton Council, you do not need to apply for this exemption. You will receive it automatically as we can check existing records
  • If you received care from a council other than City of Wolverhampton, you need to make an application and provide evidence to show that you are a care leaver.

To apply for an exemption, please call 01902 551166.
