How council tax bands are determined
Each domestic property in Peterborough is allocated one of eight council tax bands. Your property’s band determines how much council tax you pay.
The Valuation Office Agency (VOA), part of HMRC, is responsible for determining which council tax band your property is in. They base it on how much your property would have sold for on the open market on 1 April 1991, even if it has been built in later years.
