Council Tax Banding

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.

Valuation Bands

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.

Not all towns and villages pay the same amount if both classed with, for example, band A.


              

       
Example: selecting Barcombe in the Town/Village box and selecting A in the Band box will display Council Tax per year £1,045.74

Telephone fraud warning

We are advising residents to be cautious when receiving in-person visits or telephone calls regarding council tax payments.

We have been informed of incidents where fraudulent calls are made to residents telling them they are entitled to a refund of overpaid council tax.

There will be occasions where we do need to ask for bank or payment details and give the option to pay over the phone.

We will always give full account details to confirm our identity and clarify we are talking to the correct and authorised account holder.

However, if you are in any doubts over the validity of the payment request, please end the call and contact our Revenues Department via our main switchboard on 01273 471600 or email localtax@lewes.gov.uk
