If your property is newly built, it may not yet have been allocated a band by the Valuation Office Agency (VOA). You can check this online by searching for your council tax band.
The council calculates the council tax bill for a property by using:
The Valuation Office apply one of eight bands to a property according to its market value at 1 April 1991. But be aware that the price of your home today is not a good guide to what your band should be.
If your home was recently built, it may not have a council tax band yet. If it does, you can find out your council tax band below:
We are unable to issue a bill until the VOA have assigned a band and this can take a while. Once they confirm the band we will issue a bill detailing your instalments. We recommend you start putting money aside in case it takes a long time to receive a band. This will enable you to keep your instalments as low as possible. The company you have purchased your home from can usually provide an estimated band. Building companies usually provide this estimate within the building plans.
Only use the form below if;
We are unable to issue a bill or provide a council tax reference number until the VOA have assigned a band. That's why we recommend that you put money aside so you can budget your finances. Provide as much detail as possible so that the newly built property can be set up for council tax. This will help to speed up the process and avoid further delays.
Contact the VOA for information on your property's council tax band, if you are unable to find details.
Or, if you think your band is wrong you can appeal against your banding by contacting the VOA and not the council. You must continue to pay your existing bill while you are waiting for the results of an appeal.
