Most domestic property, owned or rented, has a council tax band. Your home has been allocated one of eight council tax bands according to its market value at 1 April 1991. How much you pay depends on which council tax band your house is in.

How is a property valued for Council Tax?

A property is valued by the Valuation Office Agency (not the council) and is based on the value of the property on 1 April 1991. Even if the property is built after that year, it will still be valued using 1991 values.

Every property is allocated to one of either bands, A to H. They are as follows:

Council tax valuation bands
Band	Description
A	Up to £40,000
B	£40,001 to £52,000
C	£52,001 to £68,000
D	£68,001 to £88,000
E	£88,001 to £120,000
F	£120,001 to £160,000
G	£160,001 to £320,000
H	Over £320,000

If you think your council tax banding is wrong

The Valuation Office Agency Opens in a new window is responsible for setting the bands for council tax properties. If you think your banding is wrong you should contact the VOA to appeal, not us. You must continue to pay your existing bill while you are waiting for the results of an appeal.
