The 2005 Welsh Revaluation & Band Thresholds
Under the Local Government Act 2003, powers over Council Tax valuation were devolved to the National Assembly for Wales (now Senedd Cymru).
Wales conducted a comprehensive revaluation that took effect on 1 April 2005, re-benchmarking every residential property against prices on 1 April 2003.
During the revaluation, approximately 33% of Welsh homes moved up by one or more bands, 8% moved down, and 59% remained in the same relative band.
