Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Council Tax Band in England?
A Council Tax Band is a classification for residential properties used to set the level of Council Tax a household must pay. The bands are based on the estimated market value of the property as of 1 April 1991. Different bands correspond to different value ranges, with higher bands paying more.
How many Council Tax Bands are there, and what are their value ranges?
There are eight bands, labelled A through H.
Why are the values based on 1991 rather than current market values?
Because the Council Tax bands in England are fixed based on property values as of 1 April 1991. The bands haven’t been re-valued nationwide since then, which means some areas or properties may seem under- or over-priced relative to today’s market. The system relies on that historical valuation date, not present-day valuations.
