Find out which Council Tax band you are in
Council Tax bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency, part of HM Revenue & Customs.
Most residential properties are subject to Council Tax. There is one bill per property, whether it is owned or rented. This includes a house, bungalow, flat, maisonette, mobile home, or houseboat. The value of each property is assessed by the Listing Officer of the Valuation Office Agency.
Council Tax bands
Each property is in one of eight bands based on its estimated open market capital value at 1 April 1991. The band for your dwelling is shown on your bill. The eight bands are as follows:
- A – Up to and including £40,000
- B – £40,001 - £52,000
- C – £52,001 - £68,000
- D – £68,001 - £88,000
- E – £88,001 - £120,000
- F – £120.001 - £160,000
- G – £160,001 - £320,000
- H – More than £320,000
The Council Tax valuations are based on the price a property would have fetched if it had been sold on 1 April 1991. A current increase or fall in housing market value won't affect a property's valuation. Such movements in general prices will not be a reason for changing your Council Tax band.
