Pembrokeshire County Council is carrying out a consultation on the premiums that apply to second and long-term empty homes.
The consultation seeks views on:

It also provides the definitions of second homes, long-term empty homes, exceptions and holiday lettings.

“We know that Council Tax premiums are an issue that provoke strong opinions so we want to hear those opinions. The responses will form an essential part of our review into Council Tax premiums.”
