Sutton: local factors that affect your bill
Sutton is an outer London borough, and its council tax bill includes two parts: the borough's own charge and a precept collected for the Greater London Authority, which funds the Metropolitan Police, the London Fire Brigade and Transport for London. Both are included in the Band D figure shown on this page, so it is the amount you actually pay rather than just the council's share. Bills in London boroughs can therefore look different from councils elsewhere in England, where police and fire precepts are separate.
The borough is largely suburban, with a mix of inter-war semis, Victorian terraces and newer flats around the town centres. Bands rest on April 1991 values, so homes that look similar today can sit in different bands. If you think your band is wrong, check similar properties on your street using the GOV.UK band checker, and send a proposal to the Valuation Office Agency if you have grounds.
A property in Band D here costs £2,379 a year, or about £198 a month over 12 instalments. See the council tax rates league table for how that compares with other councils, and our council tax support guide if you are on a low income.
