Valuation Bands

 

What are valuation bands?

 

The amount of Council Tax you pay is based on the valuation band of your property.

Band A up to £40,000 Band B £40,001 to £52,000 Band C £52,001 to £68,000 Band D £68,001 to £88,000 Band E £88,001 to £120,000 Band F £120,001 to £160,000 Band G £160,001 to £320,000 Band H £320,001 and above

You are now able to find out the Valuation history of your (or indeed any) property, including which Council Tax band it is in now and whether this has been changed in the past, from the Valuation Office's website. You are also able to submit an application on-line to have your property revalued in a limited number of circumstances. Please note however that valuation bands are set assuming the value of the property in 1991, not its current value.
