Council Tax Bands and Charges
Council Tax Bands
Your Council Tax bill based on the valuation band allocated to your property by the Scottish Assessor.
The Assessor for Inverclyde is Renfrewshire Valuation Joint Board. The office covering Inverclyde is based at:
Renfrewshire Valuation Joint Board
The Robertson Centre
16 Glasgow Road
Paisley
PA1 3QF
Each property is placed into one of eight valuation bands according to its market value on 1 April 1991. If your property was built after this date then the Renfrewshire Valuation Joint Board decide which band they think it would have been on 1 April 1991.
The eight valuation bands are:-
Band A - Up to £27,000
Band B - £27,001 to £35,000
Band C - £35,001 to £45,000
Band D - £45,001 to £58,000
Band E - £58,001 to £80,000
Band F - £80,001 to £106,000
Band G - £106,001 to £212,000
Band H - Over £212,000
You can check your valuation and Council Tax band by visiting the Scottish Assessors website. The link for this can be found within the related links section of this webpage.
The Valuation List
A complete list of all the valuation bands for Inverclyde Council (known as the Valuation List) is held at the Renfrewshire Valuation Joint Board. The Valuation List shows all the property addresses, bands and effective dates for every domestic property in Inverclyde.
Renfrewshire Valuation Joint Board is responsible for maintaining the Valuation List, by valuing any new properties, agreeing address changes and deciding any changes to valuation bands etc. Visit the Renfrewshire Valuation Joint Board website (see related external links) for full details of their service and your rights as a council taxpayer.
Can I Appeal?
Yes. All appeals were to be submitted between 1 April 1993 and 30 November 1993, however, new occupiers have the Right to Appeal up to six months from the date of occupation.
However, remember that Council Tax valuations will always be based on the price a property would have realised if it had been sold on 1 April 1991. Any decrease in value which has resulted from falling house prices will be ignored.
Information on appealing the valuation and band can be found on the Scottish Assessors website. The link for this can be found under the related links section of this webpage.

The charges are reviewed every year, and we send bills for the next financial year in March. If the amount you are due to pay has changed, it could be because:
- your bill includes Scottish Water charges, which increased this year
- you had a discount or reduction that has changed
- you have been charged double if your property is a second home
- you have been charged double because your property has been empty for over a year
For further information on how your Council Tax bill is calculated and how Inverclyde Council spends its budget, please see the information leaflet within the documents section.
