Second homes council tax premium to fund affordable housing

An extra £1m a year will be put towards affordable housing in North Yorkshire – paid for with the council tax premium on second homes.

Twenty-four community-led housing groups across the county will be able to bid for a share of the money, agreed at a meeting of senior North Yorkshire councillors.

North Yorkshire Council approved a 100% council tax second home premium in 2022, which will appear on bills from April next year.

Simon Myers, executive member for culture, arts and housing, said: “I believe it’s a good way of us delivering housing where otherwise it is very hard to deliver.”
