As the title suggests please could you all share what your council tax cost now is rising to.

If happy to share the council area that would be helpful and size of property!

Im about to rent a one bedroom cottage and shocked at the price!

Band D-£912.05
I bed flat in Westminster- lowest council tax in England I believe
The only increase is from GLA and adult social care- non from Westminster itself

I used to live here and I just can’t fathom how much the increase is to my rural village for a one bed!!

Band B, Lancaster district, £1678.14.

The council has already set next year's increase in Council Tax at 2.99%, an average of £7.23 a year, or 14p a week, for a Band D property. As 80% of the district's homes are in the lowest bands (A to C) the actual increase will be even lower for the majority of households.
