Most dwellings are subject to Council Tax. There is one bill per dwelling, whether it is a house, bungalow, flat, maisonette, mobile home or houseboat, and whether it is owned or rented.
Each dwelling has been allocated by the District Valuer (the Listing Officer) to one of eight bands according to its open market capital value at 1 April 1991: The bands are as follows:
| Band |
Minimum |
Maximum |
| A |
Up to |
£40,000 |
| B |
£40,001 |
£52,000 |
| C |
£52,001 |
£68,000 |
| D |
£68,001 |
£88,000 |
| E |
£88,001 |
£120,000 |
| F |
£120,001 |
£160,000 |
| G |
£160,001 |
£320,000 |
| H |
£320,001 |
and above |
Your Council Tax bill states which band applies to your dwelling.
