Northern Ireland Domestic Rating System Notice
Residential properties in Mid and East Antrim 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, Mid and East Antrim cannot be directly ranked against English, Scottish, or Welsh local authorities.
