The Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government has released the full breakdown of average council tax rates for all 296 local authorities in England for the 2026/27 financial year. The data, calculated for Band D properties, includes the adult social care levy, parish precepts, and any supplementary charges for police, fire, and regional authorities.
The information is categorised into metropolitan boroughs, London boroughs, unitary authorities, and district and county councils. Each entry lists the local authority name, the average total council tax for Band D in 2026/27, the equivalent figure for 2025/26 in brackets, and the year-on-year increase.
Figures for district councils include the county council levy, as residents receive a single bill covering both district and county charges plus any additional precepts. For example, Adur's figure incorporates both Adur district council and West Sussex county council charges.
