Property Classification Guidelines

Summary

The Local Government Finance Act 1988 outlines that properties reclassified from domestic to non-domestic are removed from the council tax list. A property is considered a dwelling for council tax purposes if it is listed in the council tax valuation list and not required to be shown in a non-domestic rating list. For detailed regulations, refer to the Local Government Finance Act 1988 or the VOA Council Tax Manual. The VOA Technical Manual 2024 can be found on the official Valuation Office Agency website.

In England, properties that are considered non-domestic are listed on the non-domestic rating list, while domestic properties are listed on the council tax list. When a property is reclassified from domestic to non-domestic, it's removed from the council tax list.
