How much is Council Tax?

Bradford Council charges eight different amounts of Council Tax. These amounts are called Council Tax bands.

The amount you pay depends on which band your property falls into.

How is a property's Council Tax band worked out?

The Council Tax band for a property is decided by The Valuation Office Agency (VOA). They look at each property's market value as at 1 April 1991. If a property was built after this date, the VOA works out the market value as if the property had been built as of 1 April 1991.

How can I work out how much the Council Tax is for a property?

First, you need to work out which band a property will fall in to. Use the Valuation Office website to check your property band.

Then use the first table below to see how much the Council Tax is for each band. In some areas there is also a Parish or Town Council for which there is an extra amount to pay. Look at the second table to see which areas are included in this.
