Council tax at 19a Dale Road: Band D is £2,600 a year in Croydon, up 4.8% on last year
Charge for 2026 to 2027, Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.
The average Band D council tax in Croydon is £2,600 for 2026 to 2027, £208 above the England average of £2,392. That ranks Croydon 36th highest of 296 billing authorities, and the charge rose from £2,480 last year.

The figures below are the charge for each band in Croydon, before any discount or reduction, and they include the county or borough, police, fire and any parish or GLA precepts averaged across the authority.
