Each dwelling in England is placed on a valuation list in one of eight valuation bands, ranging from A to H.
The value is based on the capital value of each dwelling on 1 April 1991. The capital value was arrived at by estimating the amount that each dwelling might have been sold for on the open market, subject to certain assumptions.
The range of values which each band covers, and the amount payable within the London Borough of Barnet is as follows:
| Valuation Band | Range of Values | 2012/2013 charge £ |
| A | up to 40,000 | 946.61 |
| B | 40,001 - 52,000 | 1104.38 |
| C | 52,001 - 68,000 | 1262.15 |
| D | 68,001 - 88,000 | 1419.92 |
| E | 88,001 - 120,000 | 1735.46 |
| F | 120,001 - 160,000 | 2051.00 |
| G | 160,001 - 320,000 | 2366.53 |
| H | over 320,000 | 2839.84 |
