The amount of council tax you pay depends on how much your home is worth.
Every home has been valued by the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) and placed in one of eight groups, called bands. Even if your home was built recently, they still use what it wmight have sold for in April 1991, to decide the band.
| Valuation band | Range of (1991) values |
|---|---|
| A | Up to £40,000 |
| B | £40,000 to £52,000 |
| C | £52,000 to £68,000 |
| D | £68,000 to £88,000 |
| E | £88,000 to £120,000 |
| F | £120,000 to £160,000 |
| G | £160,000 to £320,000 |
| H | More than £320,000 |
