The amount payable depends on the value of the property and, whilst Council Tax was introduced on 1st April 1993, the valuations are based on the open market values as at 1st April 1991.
All domestic properties are valued and placed in one of eight valuation bands by the Independent Valuation Agency. Please view the Council Tax Informational Booklet 23/24 (.pdf | 5.03mb) and Council Tax Financial Informational Booklet 23/24 (.pdf | 428kb)
A Listing Officer at the Valuation Office is responsible for compiling, maintaining and notifying the Council of the banding of a property.
Valuation Bands
The eight valuation bands are:
- Band A: Values not exceeding £40,000
- Band B: Over £40,000 but not over £52,000
- Band C: Over £52,000 but not over £68,000
- Band D: Over £68,000 but not over £88,000
- Band E: Over £88,000 but not over £120,000
- Band F: Over £120,000 but not over £160,000
- Band G: Over £160,000 but not over £320,000
- Band H: Values exceeding £320,000
Each band is subject to a different level of tax;
- Band A will have the lowest tax
- Band H will have the highest tax
The relevant band for your dwelling will be shown on your Council Tax bill.
