Fix My Council Tax

Are you paying council tax on the wrong band?

Compare your home with similar homes nearby and its value on the valuation date. Fix My Council Tax tells you whether a challenge is worth making, what you could get back, and writes your evidence for you.

Fix My Council Tax is independent and not part of the Valuation Office, HMRC, the Scottish Assessors or your council. Challenging your band is free on GOV.UK. You submit it yourself, and you never need to pay anyone a share of your refund.

    Your neighbours' bands decide most challenges. You don't need to type them in.

    1. Search your postcode on the official band search (the button in step 1).
    2. On the results page, select everything (Ctrl+A, or Cmd+A on a Mac) and copy it.
    3. Paste it below and press the button.
    4. More than one page of results, or want to add a nearby street? Paste each page in turn. They're added to the list, and nothing is counted twice.

    We mark homes on your street as the closest match. Change "Same type?" for any that are a different kind of home, such as a flat or a bungalow.
