Your bill
The amount of Council Tax you pay is set each year. It's made up of charges from the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham and the Greater London Authority. The amount you have to pay will depend on four main factors:
- The tax set by the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham
- The tax set by the Greater London Authority
- The valuation band that your property has been placed in
- Whether you are entitled to any discounts or exemptions

Valuation bands
Domestic properties are in valuation bands based on the property market value on 1 April 1991. The band for your property is shown on your Council Tax bill or in your My B&D Account.
Check a property's Council Tax band
The valuation of your property is based on certain assumptions, such as:
- vacant possession
- a freehold interest or, if a flat, a 99-year leasehold at a nominal rental
- the property being in a reasonable state of repair
Challenging your band
The value of your property, and the Council Tax band it is in, are assessed by the Valuation Office Agency, the council does not have any input into this banding. If you feel your banding is incorrect, you can challenge the band by contacting the Valuation Office Agency.
