Council Tax bands
How much do I have to pay?
Your Council Tax is calculated according to your property’s value on 1 April 1991, not what a property is worth today. This is decided by the Valuation Office Agency (VOA), not Portsmouth City Council. If you think your property value is wrong, find out how to challenge your Council Tax band.
