How much do you have to pay?
How is the council tax band worked out?
The Valuation Office values every domestic property. Your Council tax is based on what your home would have sold for on 1 April 1991.
To determine the right band for your home they take into account the size, age, character and the locality of the property and information about what similar properties sold for on 1 April 1991
From that valuation your property is placed into one of eight valuation bands, A to H.
Valuation Bands |
Open market value as at 1 April 1991 |
| A | Less than £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 £320,001 |
You can find out online which valuation band your property is in.
