What this means for you

Council tax bands (the category your home falls into for tax purposes based on its value) help us understand the type of housing stock in our area. Pype Hayes has a distinct profile, with a higher concentration of homes in band B and band C compared to the wider city. This reflects the specific mix of houses available to residents in our local streets.

The council manages a large budget to support essential housing services, including homelessness prevention and temporary accommodation. The city-wide spending of over 29 million pounds in July 2026 highlights the ongoing investment required to maintain supply and manage the housing challenges faced by many across Birmingham. ## How to have your say
