Full answer
Nottingham City Council's Band D Council Tax for 2026/27 is approximately £2,530, among the higher rates for a unitary authority in England, combining the core council charge with Nottinghamshire Police and Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue precepts. Nottingham has needed higher-than-average increases in recent years partly due to well-publicised council finance difficulties (it issued Section 114 notices in previous years), which have led central government to grant special permission for above-standard Council Tax rises in some years, on top of the usual 4.99% cap available to councils with social care responsibilities. As a unitary authority, Nottingham collects the full council element itself without a separate county precept layer. England-wide band multipliers apply relative to Band D: A ×0.667, B ×0.778, C ×0.889, E ×1.222, F ×1.444, G ×1.667, H ×2.000. Nottingham runs a Council Tax Support scheme for working-age low-income households (typically capping support below 100% of liability) and applies the standard 25% single-occupier discount, full student exemption, and disregards for severely mentally impaired residents.
