Council Tax Valuation Bands - General Information

Council Tax Valuation Bands - General Information

 

Property Valuations - how are they done?

Each property is placed in a valuation band by the Assessor.  Each property was placed in a Band in 1991 based on what the property would have sold for at that time.

Property in the wrong Band?

If you think your property might be in the wrong valuation band you can appeal against this.  For information on when and how to appeal contact the Assessor 

New Properties - buying and building

If you have bought or are building a new property the Assessor will need to place it in a valuation band before you can be charged Council Tax.  On completion of a building the Assessor will decide what value the property would have fetched if it had been in existence in 1991.  The Assessor will inform the Council Tax department once this has been done who will then arrange to send you a Council Tax bill.

Reductions

You may be eligible for Disabled Band Reduction if your property is the sole/main residence of a permanently disabled person.

Who to Contact

If you have any queries relating to the Council Tax Band of your property please contact the Assessor
