If you have been affected by the recent flooding in the area and you need to temporarily vacate your home for cleaning and repair, your Council tax may be affected.

There is specific information that the Council require to assess whether your property will be eligible to be exempt from Council Tax or whether any other reduction may apply.

The Valuation Bands

Council Tax is a statutory tax levied on all domestic dwellings, whether houses, flats, bungalows, maisonettes, mobile homes or houseboats.  It is a daily charge that is calculated on the band of the property

There are eight valuation bands and they relate to the value of your property as at 1 April 1991.  Your property would have been placed in to its valuation band by the Valuation Office Agency. Your Council Tax Demand Notice will detail which band applies to your property .

Gedling Borough Council aims to collect all outstanding Council Tax each year and takes non payment very seriously.
We take all measures possible to collect what is owed and can prosecute those do not pay.  Non payment is unfair on those who do pay because they will have subsidise those who do not.

We collect Council Tax on behalf of Nottinghamshire Police and Nottinghamshire County Council. and Nottinghamshire Fire Authority

Additionally, if you live in a Parished area of the Borough, there will be an element of the Council Tax collected on behalf of your Parish Council .

Your Council Tax and How it Works
