Average Band D council tax: record highs and lows

The extremes of average band d council tax as published by MHCLG, across the 16 periods held here (Year ending March 2012 to Year ending March 2027). Each record is a published figure, not a computed one, and the scope is this series — not “ever”.

The latest figure, £2,392 in Year ending March 2027, is the highest in the whole published series of 16 periods. The rule: a period counts as beaten only when its figure is strictly below the latest, and the claim is only made when it reaches back at least five years.

What a record here is, and is not

A record is the extreme of the periods this site holds for the current series, at each period’s newest published release. Earlier series measured under different methods are not compared against it. Money is in cash terms: a record set years ago stands against the money of its own year.
