What is Council Tax ?
Council Tax is a locally set tax that is payable on all
domestic properties.
In most cases there will be one bill per property, whether it is
a house, bungalow, flat, maisonette, mobile home or houseboat, and
whether it is owned or rented.
It is collected to help pay for local services such as schools,
roads, libraries, police, fire, refuse collection and many other
local services.
The amount of Council Tax that you pay depends on how
many people live in your home and your home's Council Tax valuation
band.
- The what you pay pages show more information
on how your Council Tax is calculated
- The valuation pages will tell you more about
how your home's valuation band was decided.
The district performance and
summary leaflet
included with your Council Tax demand notice includes more
information on how the Council Tax is spent.
