How are properties banded?

Rushcliffe Borough Council does not set the bands for council tax and does not value properties for council tax. The bands are set by central government and property values are calculated by the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) which is part of Her Majesty’s Revenues and Customs (HMRC). They place all homes in one of eight valuation bands, based on its estimated value on 1 April 1991. The fact that homes may be worth more or less now does not mean your banding is wrong. The banding date just establishes how much homes are worth in relation to similar properties in the area. The bandings are not affected by general trends in house prices. More details can be found on the Valuation Office Agency homepage.

If you think your home is in the wrong valuation band please contact the VOA to challenge your Council Tax band. If your challenge is successful the VOA will inform us of the new valuation band for your property, at which point we will be able to issue you with a revised bill that reflects the new banding. Until then you must continue to make payments in accordance with your current bill.
