The average Band D council tax in Tandridge is £2,595 for 2026 to 2027, £203 above the England average of £2,392.

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.
