Council tax valuation bands - how they were originally set
Most dwellings will be subject to the council tax. Each dwelling is placed on a valuation list in one of eight valuation bands ranging from A-H according to its open market value at 1 April 1991. The list will show only the band to which a dwelling has been allocated and not its actual value.
The listing officer - an officer of the Valuation Office Agency - has compiled the valuation list, and a copy of the list may be inspected at the council offices.
The eight valuation bands are as follows (Range of Values as at 1st April 1991) :
- Valuation band A : Up to and including £ 40,000
- Valuation band B : Over £ 40,000 and up to £ 52,000
- Valuation band C : Over £ 52,000 and up to £ 68,000
- Valuation band D : Over £ 68,000 and up to £ 88,000
- Valuation band E : Over £ 88,000 and up to £120,000
- Valuation band F : Over £120,000 and up to £160,000
- Valuation band G : Over £160,000 and up to £320,000
- Valuation band H : Over £320,000
There will be one band per dwelling, whether it is a house, bungalow, flat, maisonette, mobile home or boat, and whether it is owned or rented. Your council tax bill states which band applies to your dwelling.
