Council tax bills for 2026/27 will soon be dropping through letterboxes and there’s little in the way of good news for financially-stretched families.
The tax freezes that had become common in recent times are now looking like a distant memory, with councils looking to collect more money in an attempt to balance their largely bleak budgets.
This year will see councils impose rises of between 4 per cent and 10 per cent on households.

Here’s the tax rises they have agreed - in alphabetical order.
