Pay your council tax

Pay by Direct Debit

Paying by direct debit is the easiest and most secure way of paying your council tax bill. You can choose to pay on the 1st, 15th or 30th of each month, over 10 or 12 instalments dependant on the number of months remaining in the financial year.

You can be confident that Staffordshire Moorlands District Council will operate your Direct Debit under the terms of the Guarantee.
