Full answer
Blackpool Council's Band D Council Tax for 2026/27 is roughly £1,865 for council services plus Lancashire Police (~£280) and Lancashire Fire & Rescue (~£85) precepts -- total around £2,230. Blackpool is a unitary authority that sits geographically within Lancashire but is administratively separate from Lancashire County Council, similar to Blackburn with Darwen. Both unitary authorities still share Lancashire's Police and Fire precepts, which cover the whole county area. Band multipliers apply the same way everywhere: A x0.667, B x0.778, C x0.889, D reference, E x1.222, F x1.444, G x1.667, H x2.000. Discounts: 25% single occupier discount, 100% exemption for full-time students, and Council Tax Reduction for low-income households.
