The account page links to the council's sign-in service to view your details. It also gives the forms for moving within East Staffordshire or leaving the area. For incorrect account details, the council tax team's published number is 01283 508030, Monday to Friday, 9am to 1pm.
Discounts and help with the bill
If you are the only adult living in your home, a 25% single-person discount may apply. Check the council's single-person discount instructions. Where other residents are disregarded, a discount may also apply. Student households and some other circumstances may qualify for a discount or exemption; check the local eligibility and application guidance.
If you have a low income, check East Staffordshire Council Tax Reduction separately. Contact the council tax team if you are struggling to pay or your bill does not reflect an agreed change.
