The council tax band your property falls into is determined by its valuation banding, which is assessed by the Valuation Office Agency (VOA). This banding is based on the property's value as of 1 April 1991, and there are eight bands ranging from A to H.
Here's a breakdown of the council tax bands:
| Band | Property Value Range |
|---|---|
| A | Up to and including £40,000 |
| B | £40,001 - £52,000 |
| C | £52,001 - £68,000 |
| D | £68,001 - £88,000 |
| E | £88,001 - £120,000 |
| F | £120,001 - £160,000 |
| G | £160,001 - £320,000 |
| H | More than £320,000 |
Keep in mind that changes in the housing market do not affect your property's banding. If you believe your property is in the wrong band, you may want to check with the Valuation Office Agency for details on how to appeal. You can find more about council tax bands on the Bedford council tax page.
