Each dwelling is billed for Council Tax, whether it is a house, bungalow, flat, maisonette, mobile home or house boat and whether it is owned or rented.
Every domestic property has been allocated one of eight bands (A to H) according to its estimated sale value on 1st April 1991. New properties are valued as if they had existed in 1991. Great Yarmouth Borough Council sets a Council Tax rate based on a Band D property and the other dwellings pay a proportion of the tax set for Band D.
What are the Property Bands and how are they valued?
The table below shows the values used for each band.
