4. Other ways to pay your Council Tax

In addition to paying by Direct Debit and online, you can also make payments by:

Telephone

Call our automated payment line on 03447 369 631* at anytime and follow the prompts. You will need the Council Tax account number and a debit or credit card.

Standing order

Ask your bank to set up a standing order. Our bank details are:

  • Bank: Lloyds Bank PLC Exeter           
  • Sort Code: 30-93-14          
  • Account No.: 00365206
  • Reference No.: your Council Tax account number

Please remember that unlike a Direct Debit that carries on from year to year, you have to set up a standing order each year in order to pay the new instalment amounts.

Post Office

Pay by cash or cheque using the barcode on the front of your bill at any Post Office. If you are paying by cheque make it payable to Post Office Ltd and write your Council Tax account number on the back. 

Always ask for a receipt.

Payzone

Use the barcode on the front of your bill at any Payzone outlet. Some Payzone outlets may only accept cash.

Post

Send your cheque or postal order direct to us and make it payable to East Devon District Council. Always write your Council Tax account number and address on the back and send it to:

East Devon District Council
Blackdown House
Border Road
Heathpark Industrial Estate
Honiton
EX14 1EJ

Please do not send cash through the post.

Calls to 03 numbers cost no more than a national rate call to an 01 or 02 number and count towards any inclusive minutes in the same way as 01 and 02 calls. These rules apply to calls from any type of line including mobile, BT, other fixed line or payphone. East Devon District Council receives no additional income for calls to this number
