Brent Civic Centre
The Civic Centre will be closed for essential maintenance from 8pm on Friday 28 November until the end of Sunday. Normal opening hours will resume on Monday morning.
Council Tax bands and charges
The amount of Council Tax you pay is based on the value of the property you live in. Each property is placed in one of eight bands and these reflect what a home might have sold for in April 1991.
Even if the property you live in was built recently, its band is based on an estimation of what its value would have been in 1991.
Each property has been valued by the Valuation Office Agency, which is part of HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). Brent Council does not set your Council Tax band, but it does set the rate that you have to pay.

The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) allocates a band to every property based on its value on 1 April 1991. Even if you live in a new property, the VOA will work out the band based on what the property value would have been in 1991. Their website has more information on how Council Tax bands are assessed.
Appeal against your Council Tax band
If you think your home is not in the correct Council Tax band, you can appeal the valuation. An appeal may result in an increase, decrease or no change. You are required to report changes in your home to the VOA so the correct banding is applied.
