The council was created in 1996, under the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994, when the Tayside region was divided between three new unitary council areas: Perth and Kinross, Angus, and the Dundee City council area.
The current Perth and Kinross council headquarters are located in Perth at 2 High Street, at Tay Street, although many public enquiries and council services are handled from the nearby Pullar House at 36 Mill Street, the former business premises of J. Pullar and Sons.
