How Flintshire sets the Band D rate
Council Tax is a property tax administered by your billing authority. Flintshire's published Band D figure for 2026/27 (£2,376) is the sum of every precept that appears on a resident's bill: the billing authority's own charge, the police and crime commissioner precept, fire and rescue, and any parish or town council precept that applies. Every band is a fixed statutory proportion of Band D. England and Wales set these in ninths: Band A is 6/9 of Band D, Band B is 7/9, Band C is 8/9, Band D is 9/9, Band E is 11/9, Band F is 13/9, Band G is 15/9, Band H is 18/9, and Band I in Wales is 21/9.
The valuation date is 1 April 2003 (Wales rebanded in 2003 and added Band I for the most valuable properties). New builds are slotted into a band by analogy with comparable older stock. The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) handles banding decisions and appeals.
The 2026/27 published Band D figures are typically confirmed by individual billing authorities in February or March of the billing year. This page uses the latest confirmed published rate (2026/27) so the underlying provenance is auditable. Most billing authorities raise Band D between 2% and 4.99% year on year (the English referendum cap is 4.99% including the social care precept add-on). When the 2026/27 figures are published this page will be updated during the annual March maintenance window.

Frequently asked questions
- How is the Band I bill in Flintshire calculated?
- The Band D rate published by Flintshire for 2026/27 is £2,376 inclusive of every precept on the bill (billing authority, county or upper-tier in two-tier areas, police, fire, and parish where applicable). Band I is fixed at 21/9 of Band D under the Local Government Finance Act 1992, so the Band I annual bill is £2,376 multiplied by 2.333 which gives £5,544 before any discounts.
- Can I get the 25% Single Person Discount?
- Yes, if you are the only adult living at the property as your sole or main residence. The discount cuts the gross bill by 25%, so a Band I household in Flintshire would pay £4,158 per year instead of £5,544. You must apply to Flintshire directly and confirm the position annually. Falsely claiming the discount is a criminal offence under section 14 of the Local Government Finance Act 1992 and councils cross-check claims against the electoral roll.
- What if everyone in the property is a full-time student?
- An all-student household is 100% exempt from Council Tax, so the annual bill drops to £0. To qualify the course must be at least one academic year long, at least 21 hours of study per week, and at a UK university or college recognised by the relevant authority. If a student lives with one non-student adult, the non-student gets the 25% Single Person Discount instead of full exemption.
- Can I pay over 12 months instead of 10?
- Yes. Since 2013 every billing authority in England and Wales must offer 12 instalments on request, and Scottish councils typically do too. For Band I in Flintshire the 10-instalment monthly figure is £554 (April to January) and the 12-instalment figure is £462 (April to March). The annual total is unchanged. Direct debit is usually the cheapest method - most councils charge a small fee for non-direct-debit payment plans.
