ERYC announces Tax Exemption for Flood Victims

As a result of the recent flooding, many East Riding residents have had to
 leave their homes. In these circumstances, residents can apply for a      
 council tax exemption, which means they will not have to pay council tax  
 on the affected property for an initial period of up to six months.       
                                                                           
 Where properties have been structurally damaged and in need of major      
 repairs, and residents are unable to live in their homes after six months,
 then a further exemption can be claimed for an additional six months.     
                                                                           
 In order to claim an exemption, properties must be unoccupied due to flood
 damage.                                                                   
                                                                           
 Anyone wishing to claim an exemption can telephone Billing and Collection 
 on (01482) 394747 or call into their local customer service centre.
