Council Tax bands
Last Updated: 31 July 2023
Most dwellings are subject to Council Tax. There is one bill per dwelling (self-contained accommodation) whether it is owned or rented, and whether it is a house, bungalow, flat, maisonette, mobile home or houseboat.
To work out the Council Tax due on a property you will need to find out the Council Tax band and the annual charges for the parish the property is in.

Your Council Tax bill also states which band applies to your dwelling.
Each property is allocated one of eight bands according to its market value on 1 April 1991.

|---|---|
| A | Up to and including £40,000 |

Council Tax annual charges, by parish
Your bill may vary as all parishes are slightly different depending on the ‘parish precept’ (the amount your parish council needs to finance the services it delivers itself).
