What band am I in?

Who decides the banding?
The council doesn’t set the bands, these are set by the Valuation Office Agency. If you’re not happy with your band or want further details about your banding please contact the Valuation Office Agency
The banding of a property is based on what its open market value was on 1 April 1991. They are follows:
| Band | Property Value |
|---|---|
| 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 | More than £320,000 |
From April 2019, properties that have been empty for more than two years and currently pay the full charge, will have an additional 100% premium added to their bill.
