Full answer
Wolverhampton City Council's Band D Council Tax for 2026/27 is roughly £2,000 for council services plus West Midlands Police (~£290) and West Midlands Fire & Rescue (~£90) precepts -- total around £2,380. As a metropolitan borough, Wolverhampton is unitary in practice, with no separate county-level charge. The city, like its West Midlands neighbours Birmingham and Coventry, has faced significant budget pressure in recent years, which has pushed rises toward the top of the permitted range. Band multipliers are the same 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.
