Owners of empty properties that have been vacant for 10 years or more are being encouraged to bring them back into use with an additional premium being introduced to Council Tax charges from April this year.
In order to encourage owners to bring them back into use, in April 2013 Bath & North East Somerset Council levied a 50% Council Tax premium on homes that had been vacant for two years or more.
