Council Tax is a property-based tax which contributes towards council services, as well as fire and police services. For more information you can view what Council Tax is used for.
Every property is in a band and the charge is based on 2 adult residents.
How much you pay depends on which band your house is in.
The bands and value of properties is set by the Government's Valuation Office.
