Council Tax & House Prices
Enter a postcode to see the 2026/27 council tax for every band, including the local parish or town council charge, plus average house prices for the area.
How it works
- Enter the postcode of the property.
- We find the council and parish for that postcode and show the official 2026/27 charge for each band.
- Don't know the band? Check it free on GOV.UK, or look at your bill.
Figures are for a property occupied by two adults, before discounts, exemptions or Council Tax Support, and are calculated from official 2026/27 statistics published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. Your council's bill is the definitive amount. Postcode data from ONS via postcodes.io. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
Common questions
How do I find my council tax band? +
Council tax bands in England are set by the Valuation Office Agency. You can check the band for any address free on GOV.UK using the "Check your Council Tax band" service. Your band is also shown on your council tax bill.
Why does council tax vary within the same council area? +
Your bill is made up of charges from several bodies: your district or unitary council, the county council (or Greater London Authority), police, fire, and in many areas a parish or town council. Parish charges differ from place to place, so two homes in the same band and council can pay different amounts.
Who gets a council tax discount? +
If only one adult lives in a property, the bill is reduced by 25%. Other discounts and exemptions exist, for example for full-time students and some people with disabilities, and people on low incomes may get Council Tax Support from their council.
How many instalments do I pay council tax in? +
By default councils collect council tax in 10 monthly instalments from April to January, but you have the right to ask to pay over 12 months instead.
