Leeds City Council

About Leeds City Council

Leeds City Council is the local authority for Leeds. Its base is Civic Hall on Calverley Street in the city centre, and it runs council services across the Leeds district.

For businesses, the council handles business rates, including bills, reliefs, payments and an online account, and issues licences and permissions. It lets council land and property and publishes tenders and contracts for suppliers. Employment and Skills Leeds helps employers with recruitment, workforce training and apprenticeships, and the Business and IP Centre Leeds at Leeds Central Library gives free help to people starting and growing a business. General business support enquiries go to the council's business support email address.
