25% single person discount
Saves £303/year on your Band B bill (reducing it to £909/year). Apply directly to North Lanarkshire council. Anyone living alone automatically qualifies. Adults who are full-time students, carers, or severely mentally impaired are disregarded when counting.
Student exemption
Properties occupied entirely by full-time students are fully exempt from council tax. If your Band B property is all-student, the bill is £0. Mixed households (some students, some non-students) do not get the full exemption but students are disregarded for the single-person discount.
Council Tax Reduction (CTR)
A means-tested discount administered by North Lanarkshire council, available to working-age and pension-age households on low incomes. CTR can reduce your Band B bill by up to 100%. It is separate from the single person discount — you can receive both simultaneously. Apply via North Lanarkshire council's website.
Disabled person's band reduction
If someone in your household is severely disabled and needs extra space or a specific room (e.g. for a wheelchair), your property is assessed as one band lower. For Band B, this means paying Band A rates instead — saving £173/year.
Scotland note: Your Band B bill of £1,212 includes £420/year for Scottish Water charges — water and sewerage are bundled into council tax in Scotland, unlike England where they are separate bills.
Council tax Band B in North Lanarkshire is £1,212 per year for 2026/27, including water and sewerage charges from Scottish Water. This works out to £101 per month or £23 per week. If you live alone, the 25% single person discount reduces this to £909 per year.

Properties valued between £27,001 and £35,000 in 1991. Includes many post-war local authority housing stock, smaller terraced houses, and one-bedroom flats across Scotland's towns. Common in areas like Motherwell, Kirkcaldy, and smaller market towns. The 1991 property values are the figures used when council tax was introduced — they do not reflect current market prices. You can challenge your band if you believe it is incorrect by contacting the Scottish Assessors Association.
To challenge your council tax band in North Lanarkshire, contact the local Assessor's office — not the council itself. The Scottish Assessors Association handles all banding queries. You can make a formal proposal if you think your property is in the wrong band, particularly if similar properties nearby are in a lower band, or if you have evidence the 1991 valuation was wrong. Be aware that a successful challenge could also result in your band being increased.
