In 2013 Cornwall Council removed the discount for second homes, which resulted in all “unoccupied dwellings” paying 100% council tax. The consequence of this change was that we do not monitor second home ownership through Council Tax. Therefore as we rely on residents informing us of the status of the home, the data is not considered to be a 100% reliable indicator of the scale of second home ownership.
