MHCLG, Council Tax levels set by local authorities in England · 2026-27

Council tax by area

Council tax for every one of the 296 billing authorities in England, using the government's published figures for 2026-27. These are the totals residents actually pay — including county, police, fire and parish precepts — rather than just the council's own share, which is the figure most comparisons quote.

England average, Band D£2,391

Cheapest£1,028Wandsworth

Most expensive£2,765Dorset

Gap, top to bottom£1,737a year, same band

That last figure is the striking one. Two identical Band D homes, one in Wandsworth and one in Dorset, differ by £1,737 a year — roughly 2.7× — for a tax based on what each was worth in 1991.

Regional averages here are the simple mean of the councils in each region, so they treat a small district and a large city equally. The England figure quoted above is weighted by tax base, which is why the two differ slightly — worth knowing if you are quoting either.

How these figures are calculated

The source is the MHCLG, Council Tax levels set by local authorities in England statistical release for 2026-27, published under the Open Government Licence. We use the average Band D for each billing authority's whole area, including local and major precepts — the county or Greater London Authority, police, fire, and parish councils.

That choice matters when comparing figures. Many published tables use only the billing authority's own share, which produces numbers well below what lands on the doormat. If our figure for a council looks higher than one you have seen elsewhere, this is usually why.

Only Band D is published. Every other band is derived, not estimated: the Local Government Finance Act 1992 fixes each band as a set proportion of Band D — six ninths for Band A, twice for Band H — so once you have D the rest follow exactly.

The England average is weighted by tax base rather than a simple mean of councils, so it reflects where people actually live. Our figure of £2,390.56 sits within a pound or two of the department's own published headline.

What it does not tell you

Your own bill can differ from the figure for your council. Parish precepts vary within a single authority's area, so two homes in the same district and the same band can pay slightly different amounts. Discounts are applied on top — the single person discount takes 25% off, and council tax reduction can take considerably more.

These are England only. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland set council tax (and in Northern Ireland's case, domestic rates) under separate arrangements.

If you think your band is wrong, it is free to challenge and the saving is worth having — dropping one band cuts the bill by between 11% and 18% depending which band you start from. Our guide to challenging your council tax band sets out how, and what the risks are.

Frequently asked questions

Which council has the highest council tax in England?

Dorset has the highest average Band D council tax in England at £2,765.02 for 2026-27. That figure includes county, police, fire and parish precepts — the full amount on the bill, not just the council's own share.

Which council has the cheapest council tax?

Wandsworth is the cheapest in England at £1,028.21 for Band D in 2026-27, followed closely by other inner London boroughs. London boroughs dominate the bottom of the table because they receive a larger share of central government funding relative to their tax base.

What is the average council tax in England?

The average Band D council tax in England is £2,390.56 for 2026-27, weighted by tax base. Band D is the standard benchmark, though it is not the most common band — most homes sit in bands A to C and pay less.

Why is council tax so different between areas?

Each authority sets its own rate to fund its spending, and areas differ enormously in how much they can raise locally. A council with many high-value homes raises more per penny of tax than one with mostly Band A stock, so the latter must set a higher rate to fund comparable services. Precepts for police, fire and parish councils add further variation.

Do all bands go up by the same percentage?

Yes. Every band is a fixed statutory proportion of Band D under the Local Government Finance Act 1992, so a percentage rise applies equally across all of them. Band A is six ninths of Band D and Band H is twice it, which means a Band H home always pays exactly three times a Band A home in the same area.
