Herefordshire Council is consulting on proposed changes to its Council Tax Reduction scheme from April 2027.

The consultation opened on 16 September and is scheduled to close on 4 November 2026, according to the council’s official consultation listing.

Council Tax Reduction can affect how much council tax eligible households pay. Residents should read the full consultation documents before commenting, as this report does not assess the financial effect of the proposed changes on individual households.
