Council Tax charges

Council Tax charges based on your property's band and the area you live.

A government body called the Valuation Office Agency decides which band your property is in. Most of the money we will collect will be spent on local council services.

Some of the money also funds services for all of West Northamptonshire, like Police and Fire Services. We also collect money for town and parish councils, if applicable. This will be shown on your bill.

Example breakdown for council tax band D:
