Council tax valuation and banding
Properties are valued for council tax by the Listing
Officer. The Listing Officer is an officer of the
Valuation Office Agency who has valued
every domestic property. The value is based on the open market
value of the property at 1 April 1991.
Once the property has been valued, it is placed into
one of eight valuation bands, A to H.
The table below shows the eight bands and the values which have
been used since 1993.
