About Council Tax

The Council Tax is a local tax set by the Council to help pay for local
services. There is normally one bill per dwelling and the charge is based on the relative value of your property to others in the area.

Each dwelling is billed for Council Tax, whether it is a house, bungalow, flat, maisonette, mobile home or house boat, and whether it is owned or rented. Each property allocated to one of eight bands according to it's market value on 1st April 1991. Properties in band D will pay the basic charge and properties in other bands will be charged proportionately.

Wellingborough Council is responsible for collecting the Council Tax to pay for services provided by Northamptonshire County Council, the Borough Council and Northamptonshire Police Authority.
