The Council Tax is the way in which local councils raise some
of the money needed to pay for their services, although much is
still determined and funded centrally by the
Government.
Under the Council Tax the amount each household pays depends
upon the Valuation Band into which the property has been placed,
and how many people reside there.
Valuing dwellings to put them into the appropriate council tax
bands is one of the main responsibilities of the
Valuation Office.
If you have a change in your circumstances that might affect
the amount of Council Tax you pay, you must inform us straight
away.
