EnglishHow to Pay Council Tax, a Parking Ticket (PCN) or Rent on the Barking and Dagenham Website
Updated
The London Borough of Barking and Dagenham website (lbbd.gov.uk) provides separate online payment pages for three common bills: Council Tax, Penalty Charge Notices (parking tickets), and council tenant rent. Each payment is made through the council's own page for that bill, so you need to go to the correct section rather than a single general payment form. The links below are the official entry points listed on the council's site.
Payment options and where to find them
| What you are paying | Page to use | Link |
|---|---|---|
| Council Tax | Pay your Council Tax (under Council Tax → Your Council Tax account) | https://www.lbbd.gov.uk/council-tax/your-council-tax-account/pay-your-council-tax |
| Parking ticket (PCN) | Pay a PCN (under Parking → Penalty Charge Notices) | https://www.lbbd.gov.uk/parking/penalty-charge-notices-pcns/pay-pcn |
| Council tenant rent | Pay your rent (under Housing → Council tenant services → Rent) | https://www.lbbd.gov.uk/housing/council-tenant-services/rent/pay-your-rent |
Paying Council Tax
Use the Council Tax payment page if you are a Barking and Dagenham resident settling your household's Council Tax bill. Have your Council Tax account reference ready before you start, since the page is built around identifying your specific account.
Paying a parking ticket (PCN)
Use the PCN payment page if you have received a Penalty Charge Notice from the council. Keep the PCN number and your vehicle details to hand. This is the same section the council links to from its main navigation under Parking.
Paying council tenant rent
Use the rent payment page if you are a council tenant in Barking and Dagenham. This sits under the Housing section for council tenant services, so it applies to rent owed to the council as your landlord, not to private landlords or housing associations.
How the process works
- Choose the correct page from the table above — the three bills are not paid through one shared form.
- Open the page and follow the on-screen steps for that bill type, entering the reference details the page asks for (account number, PCN number, or tenant rent reference).
- Complete the payment on the council's page and keep any confirmation you receive.
The council's site also links to a "Sign up to our One Borough newsletter" page, which is for updates rather than payments — don't confuse it with the payment pages.
Common pitfalls
- Wrong page for the bill type: Paying a PCN through the Council Tax page, or vice versa, will not work because each page expects a different reference.
- Missing reference number: Each payment page is designed around identifying your account or notice, so have the number ready before starting.
- Private rent is different: The rent page covers council tenancies only. If you rent from a private landlord or housing association, pay them directly instead.
If you are unsure which category your bill falls under, start from the council's homepage at lbbd.gov.uk and navigate via the Council Tax, Parking, or Housing sections to reach the matching payment page.
