Spending and Council Tax

Council Tax

You pay Council Tax to fund local services.

Council Tax is paid directly to your local district and borough council, rather than to us. We are then given a percentage of this to pay for the services we provide.

Use GOV.UK to:

• pay your council tax
• challenge your property valuation
• apply for a Council Tax Reduction

Council tax band

The amount you pay is based on the value of the property you live in. This is split into 8 bands. You can check your Council Tax band on the GOV.UK website.
