A Band D home in the main town pays £2,549.16 in 2026/27. It is collected on one bill but shared between the authorities that levy it:
Pays for schools support, adult and children’s social care, bins, roads, parks and the rest of the council’s services. This year’s 2% rise is all ring-fenced for adult social care — there was no general council-tax increase.
+2% on last year.
Funds Cleveland Police.
+4.72% on last year.
Funds Cleveland Fire Brigade.
+5.29% on last year.
These figures come from the council’s published band schedule and are worked out with the standard band proportions. The council’s own schedule is the authority on what you owe.
