The Valuation Office Agency has put each property in to a band. The bands are based on how much the property would have sold for on 1 April 1991 and is not affected by changes in house prices, or how much the property is worth today.
You can check your Council Tax band on the gov.uk website.
To see our latest charges, please see our Council Tax amounts page.
The current Council Tax bandings are:
| Valuation Band | Property valuation on 1 April 1991 | Proportion of Band D |
|---|---|---|
| A | Up to and including £40,000 | 6/9ths |
| B | £40,001 to £52,000 | 7/9ths |
| C | £52,001 to £68,000 | 8/9ths |
| D | £68,001 to £88,000 | 9/9ths |
| E | £88,001 to £120,000 | 11/9ths |
| F | £120,001 to £ 160,000 | 13/9ths |
| G | £160,001 to £320,000 |
15/9ths |
| H | More than £320,000 | 18/9ths |
