How much is my council tax?

How much you pay will depend on which valuation band your property is in and your personal circumstances. Every property has been valued by the Inland Revenue Listing Officer. You can find out which band your property is in by looking on your Council Tax bill, or by contacting us.

Who has to pay the Council Tax?

• There is one Council Tax bill for each property.
• In most cases someone living in the property will be responsible for the Council Tax (the ‘liable person'). That will be either the owner-occupier or a tenant if the property is rented.
• If no-one lives at an address, or it is not the main home of the people living there, then the owner has to pay.
