Council tax on Farningham Road: Band D is £2,595 a year in Tandridge, up 5.0% on last year
Charge for 2026 to 2027, Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.
The average Band D council tax in Tandridge is £2,595 for 2026 to 2027, £203 above the England average of £2,392. That ranks Tandridge 41st highest of 296 billing authorities, and the charge rose from £2,472 last year.

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