Council tax band FAQs
How is my council tax band decided?▼
Bands are based on what your property would have sold for on 1 April 1991 (or 1 April 2003 in Wales), not its current value. This is set by the Valuation Office Agency (VOA), not your local council — the council only sets the rate charged for each band.
Can I check what band my property is?▼
Yes, use our
free council tax band checker to look up any UK property by postcode, or check the government's own listing at gov.uk/council-tax-bands.
Does renovating my house change my council tax band?▼
Improvements alone don't trigger a re-band while you still live there. However, a band G property can be reassessed the next time it's sold if significant improvements (like an extension) have increased its value since 1991.
Can my council tax band be reduced?▼
Yes, if you can show similar properties nearby are in a lower band, or your property was incorrectly banded. See our
step-by-step appeal guide — a successful challenge is backdated to when you moved in.
Do all UK properties have a council tax band?▼
Almost all domestic properties do. New builds are assigned a band by the VOA shortly after completion, based on what they would have been worth in 1991 terms. A small number of properties (certain annexes, agricultural buildings) are exempt entirely.
