Yes, property values do play a role - there are "bands" based on property value.

Parking spaces are at a premium in towns - so there is an added value with having that. However I've noticed that the biggest single thing one can have to raise the price of a property is a large garden.

So are these criteria we're talking about -- gardens, parking lots, etc. -- use to differentiate between one band and another, between one property and another in the same band, or both? And do the differences in tax track pretty closely to the differences in what you could expect to sell the home for?

That's right - any added features raise the value of the property and can cause it to cross from one band to another. These difference do track what the expected value of the property is.
