The 2026/27 charge for your band and your parish, and who levies what — the city council, Thames Valley Police, the fire authority, and the parish precept that makes two neighbouring streets differ.
Loading the latest information…
Two neighbours a mile apart in Milton Keynes pay different council tax on identical houses. That is not a mistake — it is the parish precept. Everyone pays the same three things (the city council, Thames Valley Police and the fire authority), and then most, but not all, of Milton Keynes also pays a parish or town council on top. Across the city that adds anywhere from £17 to £368 a year on a Band D home. Pick your band and your area and this works out the 2026/27 charge, and shows exactly who is levying what.
Pick your band to see the year’s charge and what it works out to a month. Nothing you choose is saved or sent anywhere — it stays on your device.

A Band D home in the main town pays £2,235.27 in 2026/27. It is collected on one bill but shared between the authorities that levy it:
Up 4.99% — 2.99% for general services plus a 2.00% adult social care precept. That is the most the council may raise without a referendum, and 2026/27 is the third year running it has taken it. Agreed 18 February 2026.
+4.99% on last year.
Set by the Police and Crime Commissioner for Thames Valley, not by the city council.
The fire and rescue service, which covers Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes together.
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:
