You can use the lists to find a single property or all the properties that match certain criteria.
You can do as many searches as you like, but each individual search will be restricted to a single local authority (known as 'billing authority' here) area.
To start a search you must either select a billing authority or enter a full or partial postcode. Entering a postcode will automatically select the correct billing authority. If you do not know the postcode of a property, you can find it on the Royal Mail web site.
Help with your search
We have tried to make searching easy but if you need help, click on the 'do you need help with this screen?' link at the bottom of each page. There is also a help link at the top of every page, with an index to all the help pages and a glossary of terms. You can also see a step by step guide on how to look up a property's council tax band here (330 Kb).
To view the council tax list in Welsh, click on the Welsh flag in the top right hand corner. Click the flag again to return to the English version.
Property values and bands
The council tax band of a property is not related to its current market value. This is because, by law, council tax valuations are based on the price a property would have fetched if it had been sold on 1 April 1991. For Wales the Valuation date is 1 April 2003. General price movements in the housing market since that date are not, therefore, a reason for changing a council tax banding. If you are thinking of challenging your band, please read the 'Can I challenge the list entry?' pages for the circumstances that permit a 'proposal for alteration of a list'. To make a 'proposal' online you need to find your property using the search facility below and follow the 'make a formal challenge ('proposal')' links.
