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 Swale council page already includes parish precepts as an average, so do not add a parish figure to it.

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.
