Isle of Anglesey Council Tax 2026

How to read this stock pattern

Here the standard Band D benchmark and the most common property group point to the same part of the distribution. That makes Isle of Anglesey less sensitive than most authorities to the familiar criticism that Band D is merely a reference property. The stock-weighted amount is still useful: it incorporates the lower and upper bands instead of treating the modal group as the whole area. It should be read as a corpus comparison, not as the bill of a particular address.

Isle of Anglesey has a broad valuation-band profile: the largest 3 groups are needed before the cumulative share passes half of the stock. No single band dominates the local picture, which makes a one-band headline especially incomplete. The weighted result is useful for comparing this authority with peers, but the spread across 9 published bands matters just as much. A broad mix also means the area-level mean is less representative of any one household than it is in a concentrated council.

Isle of Anglesey occupies the middle half of the Wales stock-weighted distribution, below its £2,258.00 median. The regional result gives more context than a UK-wide rank without turning the difference into a superlative. It also shows that the council's band mix, not only its published Band D rate, determines where it sits among nearby authorities. The remaining distance from the median is an area-level comparison rather than a household saving or premium.

Closest housing-stock shape: Gwynedd

Gwynedd is the nearest available full-distribution peer for Isle of Anglesey, although the match is not tight. Aligning the two published profiles would require 7.7% of dwellings to move between valuation bands. Even the closest council therefore has a materially different housing-stock shape.

Four largest band differences

• The largest separation sits at lower Band B, where Gwynedd holds 25.3% of its stock and Isle of Anglesey holds 19.2%. The peer is more bottom-weighted at this rung of the valuation list.
• Another material separation falls on the reference band itself. Band D contains 20.5% of Isle of Anglesey's stock but 17.2% of Gwynedd's, so the national headline describes more of the local distribution here.
• Another material separation appears in the upper part of the ladder at Band E. Isle of Anglesey places 15.4% of dwellings there versus 13.3% for Gwynedd, giving this profile the heavier upper-band tail at that point.
• A smaller distinction sits at lower Band A, where Gwynedd holds 15.0% of its stock and Isle of Anglesey holds 13.7%. The peer is more bottom-weighted at this rung of the valuation list.
