Council Tax Bands for All Properties in Leeds

Leeds City Council provides the assigned council tax band for every property within its jurisdiction. The dataset includes a council-specific property reference number for each entry, which is distinct from the national Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN). Council tax bands are based on property valuations at a specific historical point and are used by local authorities to determine tax liabilities.

Use Cases

• Analyzing property valuation distributions across Leeds based on council tax band.
• Cross-referencing local property identifiers with other civic datasets using the provided property_ref.
• Estimating local tax revenue potential for council budget planning.
• Investigating correlations between property bands and other geographic or demographic data.

Strengths

• Provides complete coverage of all properties in Leeds for council tax purposes.
• Published under an open license (OGL-UK-3.0) by the authoritative source, Leeds City Council.

Limitations

• Key metadata is missing: column names and structure are unknown, hindering direct analysis.
• Conflicting last-updated dates exist between platforms (2026-07-08 on uk_data and 2018-11-20 on eu_open_data), casting doubt on data freshness.
• The property identifier is a council-specific reference, not the standard UPRN, which may complicate integration with other national property datasets.
