How much is Council Tax Band D in Telford?
Telford and Wrekin Council Band D Council Tax for 2026/27 is approximately £2,300, including the West Mercia Police and Shropshire Fire and Rescue precepts.
Full answer
Telford is covered by Telford and Wrekin Council, a unitary authority, so the Band D bill is simpler than in two-tier areas: the council's own charge (~£1,960) covers services from social care to bins in one line, with West Mercia Police (~£250) and Shropshire Fire and Rescue (~£90) added as separate precepts -- total around £2,300. Because a unitary authority delivers both county-level and district-level services itself, there is no separate county precept line on the bill. 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.
