In a parish, the parish's own Band D precept is charged in addition to this and to the county, police and fire charges. The area average Band D on the Canterbury council page already includes parish precepts as an average, so do not add a parish figure to it.
Every local Band D precept in Canterbury
These are individual Band D local charges, not full bills. Other property bands are not inferred. Match the charging locality to your council bill. Grouped parishes and charter trustees can have overlapping charging areas. A postcode alone cannot establish every charge on a property.

Change is the 2026/27 Band D minus the 2025/26 Band D on the same source row, our calculation. A row that did not exist in either year is not comparable. Missing and ceased entries stay distinct from published £0.00 precepts.
