Northern Ireland Domestic Rating System Notice

Residential properties in Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon are assessed under the Northern Ireland Domestic Rates system based on capital valuation, not Council Tax bands A–H.

Because property valuations and multipliers differ fundamentally from British Council Tax, Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon cannot be directly ranked against English, Scottish, or Welsh local authorities.
