Cost of having second home to increase across the town
Tamworth Herald
|November 27, 2025
THE cost of having a second home or leaving a house empty is set to increase across Tamworth.
New measures, set to come into force in April, mean the council tax bill for some could double or even quadruple depending on how long a property is left empty.
Currently there are 162 properties the council have deemed empty and six homes that would have the second home premium applied.
It is estimated that £163,000 in additional tax revenue could be generated, however the borough council would only retain £15,300 due to how council tax is shared with Staffordshire County Council and the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner.
