How council tax bands work in Tamworth
Tamworth does not decide your band — the Valuation Office Agency does, based on what the property would have sold for on 1 April 1991. That is why a new-build still gets a 1991 valuation, worked out by comparison with similar homes nearby.
The council sets one figure, the Band D charge, and every other band is a fixed proportion of it. Band A is two-thirds of Band D, Band H is exactly double. So once you know Tamworth charges £2,301 at Band D, every other band follows automatically.
Discounts sit on top: 25% off if you live alone, 100% off for full-time students, and reductions for people on low incomes or with certain disabilities. Empty and second-home properties can attract a premium instead of a discount.
