Information about Council Tax bands

The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) complies and maintains the Council Tax list for domestic properties.

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 that six months, or your band has been changed in the last six months.

If this does not apply you can still ask the 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 more information about challenging your Council Tax band on the VOA website. The online service allows you to check your band and submit a challenge if you think your band may be wrong.

Please note that the Valuation Office are centralising all their post to the following office:
