Full answer
Bradford Metropolitan District Council's Band D Council Tax for 2026/27 is approximately £2,300, made up of the core council charge plus precepts for West Yorkshire Police, West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Authority, and the West Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority, which funds regional transport and investment schemes across Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield, Kirklees and Calderdale. As a metropolitan borough, Bradford has no separate county council layer. Bradford applied close to the standard 4.99% maximum increase permitted for councils with adult social care responsibilities in 2026/27. England-wide band multipliers relative to Band D apply: A ×0.667, B ×0.778, C ×0.889, E ×1.222, F ×1.444, G ×1.667, H ×2.000, so a typical Band A terraced house pays roughly £1,530 while a large Band G detached home pays around £3,830. Bradford runs a Council Tax Reduction scheme for low-income households and applies the standard national discounts, including the 25% single-occupier discount and full exemption for full-time student households.
