Pay your Council Tax
How can I pay?
You are under no obligation to pay your whole Council Tax bill
at once. Many people choose to spread the cost throughout the year,
paying their bill in monthly instalments. District and borough
councils offer different methods of payment, including:
- cash
- cheque
- direct debit.
Online payments may also be available. Please see district and
borough websites, or your Council Tax bill, for full details.

How is Council Tax calculated
Council Tax bands
The amount of tax you are charged depends on which valuation
band your property lies in based on 1991 values, this includes
properties newer than this. The valuations can be seen on the
district and borough websites (see
links above). All valuations are calculated by the
Valuation
Office (link opens in new window).
