If you are full-time student, you should check the requirements for your local council area and how to apply for a Council Tax exemption certificate.
Students Living in York
York St John University, as well as the University of York and York College, have worked with City of York Council to make registering for discounts and exemptions from Council Tax easier. You can apply for a discount or exemption online. There is no need to supply student certificates.
If you live in a student property with students who study at places other than the 3 participating institutions mentioned above, then you will need to complete and send a single form. Students from York St John University, the University of York and York College will not have to provide proof of student status.
If you move accommodation, you will need to re-apply at your new address.
To apply online, visit the City of York Council website and follow the instructions for student council tax discounts and exemptions.
