Council Tax

Council Tax is payable on all domestic property. The level of Council Tax is determined by separate charges levied by Staffordshire County Council, Staffordshire Police Authority, Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire Fire Authority, Stafford Borough Council and Parish Councils. Council Tax is collected on behalf of these bodies by Stafford Borough Council. Your bill advises you how much of the Council Tax is paid to each of these organisations.

The amount of Council Tax you have to pay depends on:

• The valuation band your property is in
• The number of people aged 18 or over living in your property
• Whether a discount or exemption is appropriate
• Whether you qualify for Council Tax Benefit

When we work out Council Tax we assume that two people, aged 18 or over, live in most properties.
