Council tax - bands and charges

From 1 April 2005 the National Assembly for Wales revalued your domestic property. All domestic dwellings (houses, bungalows, flats and so on) will appear in Council Tax valuation lists. Each dwelling is placed in one of nine bands according to its open market capital value as at 1 April 2003. The bands for Wales are:-

Each £1 of Council Tax levied by the council on Band D is estimated to provide £29,555.89.

The £825.30 levied by the Council (for an equivalent Band ‘D’ property) will provide income of £24,392,476.

In addition to this the North Wales Police Authority has set a Council Tax of £201.33 (Band D) to meet its expenditure and this will yield the sum of £5,950,487. Council Tax set by each Community Council within the County will raise a further £835,999 details of which are given below which, on average, gives a further Council Tax (Band D) of £28.29.

The average Council Tax for a Band D property for the County in 2010/11 is therefore:

£825.30 + £201.33 + £28.29 = £1,054.92 which is approximately £20 per week.

This is an increase of 4.2% on the average Council Tax that was payable for a Band D property in 2009/10. The increase in the County Council element is 4.5% and in the Police Authority element is 3.0%.
