Full answer
Derby City Council's Band D Council Tax for 2026/27 is roughly £1,905 for council services plus Derbyshire Police (~£280) and Derbyshire Fire & Rescue (~£85) precepts -- total around £2,270. Derby is a unitary authority, so it does not pay into a separate Derbyshire County Council precept the way surrounding district areas do. As with most councils, annual rises tend to sit close to the maximum permitted without a local referendum (2.99% core plus up to 2% adult social care). 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% student exemption, and Council Tax Reduction available for low-income households through the local authority.
