The full Council Tax

The Council sets the Council Tax each year, taking into consideration its budget requirement, the County Council’s precept, the Hertfordshire Police precept, Government Grants and the expected number of properties in each band, taken over the year as a whole.

The amount set is for band D and will be chargeable on all dwellings in that band. Dwellings above and below band D pay proportionally more or less Council Tax.

**Yearly Band D proportions**

The bill for a property in band A will always be 2/3rds of the bill for a property in band D, whereas the bill for a property in band H will always be twice the bill for band D. Band H properties will pay 3 times the amount payable by properties in band A.
