Discounts and reductions
- Living alone: 25% off — a Band A bill in Broxtowe drops from £1,745.47 to £1,309.11.
- Council Tax Reduction: Broxtowe runs its own scheme for people on low incomes or benefits — rules differ from council to council in England.
- Disregards and exemptions: full-time students, student halls, some carers and people with a severe mental impairment are not counted; all-student homes pay nothing.

Broxtowe parish charges: why your bill may differ from the average
The £2,618.21 Band D figure above is an average across the borough. Your actual bill depends on which parish you live in, because each parish or town council sets its own precept, and Beeston is billed a separate "special expense" for services the borough provides only there. Broxtowe's 2026/27 leaflet lists the full Band D charge for every part of the borough:
The gap between the cheapest and dearest parish is £155.74 a year at Band D. A Band D home in Awsworth pays that much more than the same home in the unparished parts of the borough outside Beeston.

Empty homes, second homes and paying in Broxtowe
An empty, unfurnished home that can be lived in gets a 25% discount for up to six months. A home that cannot be lived in because of major repairs or structural work can get a discount for up to 12 months. To apply, you email the council date-stamped photos and a room-by-room account of the work.
