Council Tax is based on the value of your property. Each domestic property in the district has been classified into one of eight valuation bands.
The amount charged for each property in the district is set locally. This depends on how much all the local authorities and certain other public bodies wish to spend and how much money they get from other sources.
The amount you have to pay (before any reductions) also depends on which valuation band your home is in. The lower the band the less you will pay.
| Band A | up to £40,000 |
| Band B | up to £52,000 |
| Band C | up to £68,000 |
| Band D | up to £88,000 |
| Band E | up to £120,000 |
| Band F | up to £160,000 |
| Band G | up to £320,000 |
| Band H | over £320,000 |
This is based on the properties market value as at 1 April 1991.
You can find the current rate at which each banding is charged across the district. Not all towns and villages pay the same amount, even if they are both classed in band A, for example.
