The debt advice charity says the figure represents a 30% reduction compared with the previous year.
National Debtline said separate government figures show total council tax arrears in Oldham stood at £57.8 million.
Across England and Wales, the charity's research found 1.72 million council tax arrears cases were passed to bailiffs during 2025/26, compared with 1.74 million the previous year.
It said 153 councils, representing 48% of those included in its research, increased their use of bailiffs.
National Debtline also examined how councils treat residents receiving Council Tax Support.
It found 26 of 317 local authorities exempted people receiving the support from bailiff action, down from 35 in 2024/25.
Oldham was among the 26 councils operating such an exemption, according to the charity.
National Debtline said council tax is among the three most common types of debt reported by people contacting its advisers, alongside credit cards and energy bills.
It said 31% of people contacting the service currently have council tax debt.
Edward Ware, spokesperson for National Debtline, said: “We understand that councils are under increasing financial budget constraints, and council tax is vital to funding the local services we all rely on, but collecting this money cannot come at the expense of its most financially vulnerable residents.
“We are pleased to see that Oldham Council has reduced its bailiff use recently, but we would urge councillors to review whether there is more the council could do to support residents who are struggling to pay.”
The charity is calling for councils to take further steps before debts are passed to bailiffs, including working with residents and debt advisers to agree affordable payment arrangements.
It also wants further government funding for local Council Tax Support schemes and statutory regulation of the bailiff industry.
National Debtline said changes to council tax collection are expected in 2027 following a government consultation.
According to the charity, these include increasing the period before councils can demand the full year's council tax following a missed instalment from two weeks to 63 days, more affordable repayment arrangements and a £100 cap on court-related fees.
The proposed changes would also make payment over 12 months, rather than 10, the default.
Ware added: “Anyone struggling to pay their council tax bill should seek free, independent advice from National Debtline as soon as possible. Our advisers are here to help and can talk you through your options.”
