You can change your address online if you are:

  • moving from one Manchester address to another
  • moving into Manchester
  • moving out of Manchester
  • registering to pay council tax in Manchester for the first time
  • buying a property in Manchester but not to live in

You will need:

  • Your council tax reference - it's on your bill. (Where you are moving within or moving out of Manchester)
  • Bank details if you want to set up a direct debit to pay your council tax.
  • Email address if you want a receipt or to get your bills by email.
  • If you are a tenant: your landlord or agent's details and details of any joint tenants.
  • If you are the owner: solicitor's details and details of joint owners.
