Council tax rates 2022/23 in your area - see how much you will pay as average bill hits £1,966

The average Band D council tax set by local authorities in England for 2022/23 is £1,966, up £67 or 3.5 per cent on the previous year, according to data published by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities.

This includes adult social care and parish precepts, but does not take into account the £150 council tax rebate that will be provided to households in Bands A to D by the government to help with rising energy prices.

The average 3.5 per cent rise for Band D properties in 2022/23 is below the 4.4 per cent rise in 2021/22 and is also the lowest year-on-year increase since 2016/17.

A full list of council tax levels for each local authority in England has also been published by the Government.
