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:
| 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.
