Explanation of increase

The three elements of your council tax are:

- LBB Adult Social Care increase of 2% (This 2% increase applies against Barnet’s combined element of the 2024/2025 Council Tax only)
- Greater London Authority increase of 4% (LBB has no control over this element)

Changes to your property that affect banding
Your property may be revalued and put in a different band if:
- you make major alterations to it, such as adding an extension or annexe (the band won’t change until you sell the property)
- you split a single property into self-contained flats
- you convert flats into a single property
- you start or stop working from home
- there are significant changes to your local area, like a new road being built.
You may get a separate Council Tax bill if your property includes a self-contained annexe
If you want to know whether changes to your property will affect your Council Tax band. Make a general enquiry or contact us by post:
