The average Band D council tax in Croydon is £2,600 for 2026 to 2027, £208 above the England average of £2,392.

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.
