Valuation Office Agency

The Valuation Office is an agency of the Inland Revenue and therefore Central Government and is not connected with the Council. There are a number of regional offices each headed by a District Valuer or Valuation Officer.

The Valuation Office Agency is responsible for setting the bands for Council Tax properties and the Rateable Values for Non-Domestic Properties. 

If you wish to appeal against your banding or rateable value you should contact the Valuation Office and not the Council.  You must continue to pay your existing bill while you are waiting for the results of an appeal.

The address of the office that values properties in the Wigan area is shown below.  More information about the Valuation Office Agency and an on-line valuation list of rateable values and Council Tax bands for the whole country is available on their web site.
