Your home’s Council Tax band is determined by the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) and is based on the estimated value of your home, as if it had been sold on 1 April 1991. The VOA places your home into one of 8 bands, with similarly valued properties.
The amount of Council Tax you will pay each year is based on this.

New properties
If your property is new, and has not yet been placed in a band, please contact us. You can still make payments against your future Council Tax bill.
Changes to your Council Tax band
Your property may be revalued and put in a different band if you (or a previous owner) have made significant changes to the property, for example adding an extension, demolishing part of your property or splitting your property into two or more self-contained units.
Significant changes to your local area, like a new road being built, might also change the band your property is in.
If you want to know if changes to your property will affect your Council Tax band, you should contact the Valuation Office Agency.
Appeal against banding
If you believe your home is in the wrong band, you may be able to appeal. You should contact the Valuation Office Agency to do this.
