Find out how Council Tax bands are decided, which band your property is in, and the amount of Council Tax you need to pay.
The amount you need to pay depends on which Council Tax band your property is in.
The valuation office bases your property's band on the market value of the property from April 1991.
You can check your property's Council Tax band.
If you don't think it's right, you can challenge your Council Tax band.
