Council tax on Copse Hill: 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. Next door in Reigate and Banstead, Band D is £2,567, £33 less than in Croydon, so which side of a council boundary a home sits on changes the bill by about £33 a year at Band D.
Your own bill depends on your property's band. In England bands are set from the home's estimated value on 1 April 1991, so a Band C home pays eight ninths of the Band D charge and a Band F home thirteen ninths. 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.
| Band | Per year | Per month (12 payments) |
|---|---|---|
| Band A | £1,733 | £144 |
| Band B | £2,022 | £169 |
| Band C | £2,311 | £193 |
| Band D | £2,600 | £217 |
| Band E | £3,178 | £265 |
| Band F | £3,755 | £313 |
| Band G | £4,333 | £361 |

You can check or challenge a home's band on the GOV.UK "Find your Council Tax band" service.
