Your band is shown on your council tax bill. Bands are based on the value of your property and are set by an independent valuation office, not by the council.
Pay by Direct Debit
Direct Debit is the easiest way to pay. You can spread your payments over 10 or 12 months, and choose to pay on the 1st, 15th or 28th of the month.
For example, if you pay a Band D bill in 10 instalments, your first payment is £211.88 and the other 9 payments are £211.84 each.
To set up a Direct Debit, email counciltax@larkhaven.example or call 01632 960 000. You will need your council tax account number, which is on your bill, and your bank details.
Other ways to pay
- by phone: call 01632 960 000, Monday to Friday, 08:30 to 17:30, and pay by debit or credit card
- in person: at the customer service desk in City Hall, 1 Quay Square

Common questions
When will I get my bill?
We send bills in March for the year starting on 1 April. If you move during the year, we send you a new bill.
I think my band is wrong
You can ask the independent valuation office to review your band. Keep paying your bill while they look at it. Contact us and we will tell you how to ask for a review.
Where does my council tax go?
