Council Tax valuation banding & appeals
Finding out more about your Council Tax band
The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) maintains the Council Tax Valuation List. This includes placing new properties within a Council Tax band and changing bands for properties when necessary.
To understand why your property is in a certain band, visit the How domestic properties are assessed for Council Tax bands page on GOV.UK.
You can ask the VOA to review your Council Tax band if you think it is wrong and you have been the taxpayer for less than six months, or your band has changed in the last six months. If this does not apply you can still ask VOA to review your Council Tax band, but you’ll need to provide strong supporting evidence showing why you believe your property is in the wrong band.
You can find out more by visiting the Challenge your Council Tax band page on GOV.UK. The online service allows you to check your band and submit a challenge if you think your band may be wrong.
You can contact the VOA at gov.uk/contact-voa. If you are unable to use the online service you can also contact them by writing to Valuation Office Agency, Durham Customer Service Centre, Wycliffe House, Green Lane, Durham, DH1 3UW
The amount of Council Tax you pay for a property will depend on the valuation band in which it has been placed.
