The Valuation Office Agency prepares a new rating list for each council every 5 years that shows the rateable value of all non-domestic properties in its area. As from 1 April 2023 the Valuation Office will be preparing a new list every 3 years. It shows all properties in the area, their rateable values, and their descriptions. The properties are listed in alphabetical street order within postal areas and every property has its own reference number.
The previous ratings lists and valuation dates are as follows:
- the 2010 list and was valid until 31st March 2017 has the rateable values based on the valuation date of 1 April 2008.
- the 2017 list which came in on 1st April 2017 has the rateable value based on the valuation date of 1 April 2015.
- the 2023 list which will start on 1st April 2023 has the rateable value based on the valuation date of 1 April 2021.
