Council Tax bands and charges


The amount you pay depends on which Council Tax band you are in. The Valuation Office Agency sets bands based on what the property's open market value was (or would have been) on 1 April 1991.

If you’re unhappy with your band or want further details, contact the Valuation Office Agency.

Parishes

If you live in an area with a parish council your charge for the year may be different.

Please contact your parish council for further information.
