Council Tax
Council Tax is payable on nearly all domestic properties. It is collected to help pay for local services such as schools, roads, libraries, police, fire and rubbish collection.
The Listing Officer, at the Valuation Office Agency, gives each property a 'band'. Birmingham City Council then sets a charge for each band.
The basic Council Tax bill is made up of two parts, 50% property and 50% personal. The 50% personal element is applied on the basis that two or more people live in a property.
The award of discounts, exemptions, and/ or Council Tax benefit may reduce bills.
