There are eight Council Tax bands.
Your band and the amount of Council Tax you pay depends on the value of your home - the more expensive your home is, the higher the band and bigger the charge.
The Valuation Office gave every home a valuation band between A to H, according to its value - current market values may not be the best guide to the band your home is in.

Council Tax bands - text 2
If you're thinking about buying a home, be aware that the band may be increased after the sale if the previous owner had improved the property.
Council Tax bands and market values are based on a calculation taken by the government in 1991:
- A - Under £40,000
- B - £40,001 to £52,000
- C - £52,001 to £68,000
- D - £68,001 to £88,000
- E - £88,001 to £120,000
- F - £120,001 to £160,000
- G - £160,001 to £320,000
- H - More than £320,000
How to appeal your Council Tax banding
You can appeal your Council Tax band through the Valuation Office if:
- the value of your home has gone up because of building works
- the value of your home has gone down because of a demolition or any other physical change to the property's location
- part of the property starts or stops being used for business
You can also appeal within six months of:
- moving home
- having to pay Council Tax for the first time at your address
- a change being made to the band by the listing officer
You must pay your Council Tax based on the current valuation band until the listing officer decides whether or not to change the band.
