Council tax

For University-owned properties, council tax is sometimes paid by the University and charged to residents through their rent as explained below.
Living in halls
Living in privately rented property
The amount payable depends on the value of the property, how many people live there and if they are registered as full-time students. If all the adults (18 years old or above) living in the property are full-time students, no council tax is payable.
If the house is not owned by the University, you will need to obtain a council tax exemption certificate. To obtain an exemption letter, please log onto Surrey Self Service and select to the ‘Letters’ tab in the top right corner of the screen.
