How much is Council Tax Band D in Gloucester?
Gloucester City Council Band D Council Tax for 2026/27 is approximately £2,375, once the Gloucestershire County Council, Gloucestershire Constabulary and Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue precepts are added to the district charge.
Full answer
Gloucester sits within a two-tier local government area, so the Band D bill combines several precepts: Gloucester City Council's own charge (~£310), Gloucestershire County Council (~£1,725, the largest share), Gloucestershire Constabulary (~£260) and Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue (~£80) -- total around £2,375. This layered structure is typical of district areas within a two-tier county, where the county council funds the largest services such as adult social care and highways. 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 via the local authority.
