City of York Council

City of York Council is the unitary local authority for York and surrounding communities in North Yorkshire, England. Its official website brings together Council Tax, housing, planning, waste and recycling, schools and local transport information. Residents can also find online routes for payments, parking permits and searching planning applications.

The council area includes both the historic city and neighbouring settlements. The relevant address can affect which services and collection arrangements apply; town and parish councils also have local roles in parts of the area. The council publishes meeting papers, local decisions and consultations alongside its service guidance.
