This table shows only the county council portion of your bill. The appropriate district, parish and police council tax and the effect of agreed expenditure proposals will need to be added to give the total council tax charge.
Oxfordshire County Council is required to set a council tax charge as a proportion of the charge for band D properties. The council tax band of a property is not related to its current market value. This is because, by law, council tax valuations are based on the price a property would have fetched if it had been sold on 1 April 1991. General price movements in the housing market since that date are not, therefore, reflected in the council tax band a house is in.
