Loading the latest information…
Council tax in Leeds is one bill, but it pays for four different things — the city council, the ring-fenced adult social care precept, the police, and the fire service. Leeds is a single (unitary) council, so there is no separate county or district line. Pick your band below to see this year's charge and roughly what it works out to a month.

A Band D home in the main town pays £2,271.51 in 2026/27. It is collected on one bill but shared between the authorities that levy it:
The council's own services — bins and recycling, roads, schools, libraries, planning, parks and housing. Leeds is a single authority, so this covers what a county and a district do elsewhere.
+2.99% on last year.
A ring-fenced part of Leeds City Council's charge, for the care of older and disabled adults. This is the total added for adult social care since it began in 2016/17.
West Yorkshire Police, funded by the policing precept the Mayor of West Yorkshire sets as police and crime commissioner.
+5.7% on last year.
West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service — fire engines, firefighters, and fire prevention across the county.
+5.92% on last year.
Five parts of the borough have their own parish or town council, which adds a small amount to the bill. Everywhere else is unparished. The parish charge at Band D:
