Property bands for Council Tax
Every residential property goes into one of eight Council Tax property bands, ranging from the lowest (Band A) to the highest (Band H). This is depending on what the property’s value was on 1 April 1991.
We do not decide the band for your property. This is decided by the listing officer for the HMRC Valuation Office Agency (VOA).
You can check the valuation band of your own home and other properties. Use the Council Tax banding checking service on GOV.UK.
The GOV.UK website also explains how domestic properties are assessed for Council Tax bands.
You may be able to challenge your Council Tax property band if you think it is wrong, or there has been a change that affects the property.
