COUNCIL TAX PREMIUM FOR SECOND HOMES IN PEMBROKESHIRE

Under the provisions of the Housing (Wales) Act 2014, Pembrokeshire County Council decided on 15 October 2026, to continue the premium on second homes in Pembrokeshire for the 2027-28 financial year.

The premium of 125% is in addition to the standard 100% rate of council tax from 1 April 2027.

COUNCIL TAX PREMIUM FOR LONG-TERM EMPTY PROPERTIES IN PEMBROKESHIRE

Under the provisions of the Housing (Wales) Act 2014, Pembrokeshire County Council decided on 15 October 2026 to continue the premium for properties that have been unoccupied and unfurnished for more than two years and to charge a premium as follows:

• A council tax premium of 300% will apply to properties that have been empty for two years or more.

The premium is in addition to the standard 100% rate of council tax from 1 April 2027.

Dated this 4th day of November 2026

There are two points worth flagging:

  1. Different qualifying periods: The Welsh notice says the 300% premium applies after four years, while the English notice says two years.

  2. Repeated wording in Welsh: The first Welsh paragraph repeats “penderfynodd Cyngor Sir Penfro”. This appears in the original image and has deliberately been retained rather than corrected.

Both notices specify a 125% premium on second homes, in addition to the standard 100% council tax charge, effective from 1 April 2027.
