Our council tax charges

Adult social care precept

New legislation has removed the requirement for billing authorities to show the adult social care precept on Council Tax bills with effect from 1 April 2025. This means that the adult social care element is now included within the city council precept.

We have increased council tax for 2025/26 by a total of 4.99%, 2% of which is to be spent on Adult Social Care.

This table shows the city council's charges for 2024/25 and 2025/26 and how the percentage increases have been worked out.
