Council tax, parish by parish
What a home pays in council tax in each parish, in every band, who receives it, and why the bill changes from one village to the next. Straight from the government's own figures for 2026-27.
Rolling out council by council, starting with Chichester district. Live so far: every parish in Chichester district on its council page, and 7 parish pages of their own, with more added each day.
Why next door pays a different amount
England has 10,226 parishes in the 2026-27 figures, and 8,889 parish councils (some covering a group of parishes) set a precept, by MHCLG's count. In most districts everyone pays the same to the district council, the county, the police and the fire service, so the parish precept is the part that changes from one parish to the next; a few districts also charge "special expenses" in part of their area, and are added only once their own schedules are checked. The largest this year is £551.46 at Band D, in Elmton (Bolsover district).

More councils are added each week. Every figure comes from MHCLG's statistics; how the figures work explains each one.
