Northampton Borough Council

Citizens Account

What is a Citizen's Account?

Your Citizen's Account is a convenient, easy to use online service, where borough residents, council house tenants and private landlords can manage their council tax, rent accounts, housing applications and payment schedules all in one place, and that's not all; we plan to make many more services available in the coming months (such as Benefit information for Private Tenants).


Is it Secure?

Yes it is. We use a verification process, which means only you can view your account; no-one else. 

When you register you will be sent a Personal Identification Number (PIN) to complete the registration process.  You must have this to complete your registration.  

 

What are some of the Advantages?...

No more paper bills

This helps the environment; and for every person that signs up, the council saves £1 in printing and postage costs.

 

24/7 access to your account

Manage your account and payments anytime you like with the click of a mouse.

Support via E-mail

Avoid being kept waiting on the phone or queuing at the One Stop Shop, have your queries answered fast.

 

Updates to your mobile

Enter your mobile phone number when you register and receive a text message notification the next time you get billed.


Other Questions you might have...

Can I no longer receive bills etc., through the post as I always have?

Of course. You are not required to have a Citizen's Account, it is simply an online alternative that has been designed to help you and make things easier.

Can I register for a Citizen's Account at a later date?

Of course. If and when you decide to register for an account is your choice.

Why are the council so keen on this idea?

In a nutshell;

  1. We feel it to be a much more customer focused and reliable system.
  2. It will helps us reduce costs as well as our Carbon Footprint.
  3. It means our customers can interact with us more freely and allows them to view information whenever they feel like doing so.
  4. It allows us to make full use of both our existing and emerging technologies to further improve customer service and reduce costs.

Where can I get more information?

Simply e-mail us and we will do our best to answer any questions you might have.
