Total council tax bill if you live in Coventry after city council sets its budget
Here's how much you'll be paying in council tax for the upcoming year

The decision has been made and the budget for the upcoming year has been set.

As reported by CoventryLive yesterday, residents in the city are set to pay 3.9% more in council tax after proposals were voted through at a full council meeting earlier this week.

That increase just affects the city council’s share of the council tax - which makes up most of the total bill.

The Police and Crime Commissioner for the West Midlands has increased their precept by 6.5% this year while the West Midlands Fire Authority has increased their share by 6.2%.

The total increase therefore on the whole council tax bill is 4.3%.

This means if you live in a Band D property your total council tax bill for the upcoming financial year will be £2,516. Of this, £2,186 will go to the city council, while £244.50 goes to the PCC and £85.19 to the Fire Authority.

There’s also additional charges for those who live in the Allesley, Finham and Keresley areas as these have parish councils, which also charge an additional precept.

The annual bill for council tax - excluding any parish council charges - in Coventry is as follows:

Band A: £1,677.39

Band B: £1,956.39

Band C: £2,236.52

Band D: £2,516.09

Band E: £3.075.22

Band F: £3,634.35

Band G: £4,193.48

Band H: £5,032.18

Most of the properties (almost 40%) in Coventry fall into the Band A category. There are discounts if you live alone, if a resident of the house is disabled or is on low income or in receipt of benefits.

Full exemptions also apply for student halls, all-student households and some other categories.

After allowing for all discounts and exemptions, Coventry City Council says the average council tax bill is £1,603.11.
