I don't want to be rude but you really don't understand how council tax works.
The tax is based on what a property's value would have been in 1991 and it's staggeringly unfair. Why are properties not revalued? Ask the government as only it can sanction a change such as this to the system. Values have nothing to do with Khan or Hudspeth even? Why are there not more bands for the massive expensive properties? Again ask the government. You see a pattern emerging? It's fixed. Councils have little say or control other than to set the tax for each band in their area. And then the government undemocratically caps the increase. Let councils set whatever tax they like. The public will soon vote them out if they don't like it. People can choose to have crap services if that is what they want.
What is anything "worth" ? Least of all property.
