This is not the latest release.
The latest release can be found on the Council Tax statistics page.
This release includes details of number of properties by Council Tax band at various geographic levels (national, regional, Local authority district, Westminster Parliamentary Constituency and lower and middle layer super output areas) together with breakdowns by property type (including bedroom count) and build period.
The counts are calculated from domestic property data for England and Wales extracted from the Valuation Office Agency’s (VOA) administrative database on 31 March 2016. Data on property types and number of bedrooms have been used to form property categories by which to view the data and data on build period has been used to create property build period categories.
The counts shown at Westminster Parliamentary Constituency and lower and middle layer super output areas are estimated by merging the VOA administrative data with the National Statistics Postcode Lookup (NSPL) file in accordance with guidance from the Office for National Statistics.
Counts in the tables are rounded to the nearest 10 with counts of zero being reported as “0” and counts fewer than 5 reported as negligible and denoted by “-“.
For further details on the information included in this release, including a glossary of terms and a variable list for the CSV format files, please refer to the statistical release notes.
Supplementary tables added on 22 September 2016
The data used in the supplementary table would usually be taken at the second Monday in September. However, an IT issue occurred during the overnight schedule to produce this data. The overnight schedule was reran but was only successful for Billing Authorities in England. The overnight schedule for Billing Authorities in Wales was successful on 19 September 2016. Therefore, two supplementary tables have been published.
On 22 September 2016, a supplementary table showing the number of properties by Council Tax band and region, county and local authority district in England as at 13 September 2016 and a supplementary table showing the number of properties by Council Tax band and region, county and local authority district in Wales as at 19 September 2016 were added to this publication.
