England council area directory

Find your local Council Tax band guide

Choose an approved council area to open local billing sources, understand area-specific charge context and continue to the national postcode checker.

Local pages explain who handles the bill, where annual charge information comes from and why a bill amount is different from evidence about a property's valuation band. Councils handle billing, while the Valuation Office maintains Council Tax bands in England.
