Your questions answered.

What can I pay online?

You can pay business rates, Council Tax, Housing rents, Housing Act advances and sundry invoices.

What do I need?

Well apart from your card of course, you will need to have a copy of your bill or invoice handy. Payments can be made by Visa, Mastercard, Switch, Delta and Solo.

Is it safe?

The Council’s web site is secure. We are committed to protecting your privacy online. To ensure that nobody can read the information you send us we have taken the following measures: -

A certificated secure payment gateway provider is used to authorise payments. Secure communication means that information you provide, such as your name or credit card number, is encrypted so that it can’t be read or intercepted by other people.

We do not store your payment card details on the Council’s computers.

We comply with data protection laws. The Data Protection Act 1988 ensures the protection and care of personal information. This means that information you give us electronically will only be used for the purpose you intended.

Can I have a receipt?

Yes. If you enter an e-mail address on the payment details page, we will send you a receipt.

What if my card is refused?

Cards are not refused by Brentwood Borough Council, they are refused by your bank. There are many reasons why this may happen and we suggest that you contact your bank directly.

Go on –try it! It’s easy, quick and secure.  Make a payment online
