Council Tax - Valuation Bands
Most dwellings are subject to the
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 is billed for Council Tax, whether it is a
house, bungalow, flat, maisonette, mobile home or house boat, and
whether it is owned or rented. Each property allocated to one of
eight bands according to it's market value on 1st April 1991.
Properties in band D will pay the basic charge and properties in
other bands will be charged proportionately.
Your Council Tax is used to meet the net expenditure of
Cumbria County Council, Cumbria Police Authority, South Lakeland
District Council and your parish/town council.
The following table is based on the average parish charge of
£25.78 in 2011/2012 (£23.73 in 2010/2011) but your bill may vary as
all parishes are slightly different depending on the parish
precept.
