The BID levy is charged annually in advance for each chargeable period. Invoices will be sent from East Herts District Council in April. Payment is due for the full year and no refunds are given. If you move into a property mid year, you will not be charged until the following April. The invoice is sent to whoever is responsible for the property on 1 April.
You can pay the levy in the following four ways. Please always quote your BID account reference.
