About 31 smaller parishes around the edge of the city add their own precept on top — Acaster Malbis adds the least, Earswick the most — and if you're in one, your own bill will be a little higher than the figure here.

A Band D home pays £2,269.91 in 2026/27. It is collected on one bill but shared between the authorities that levy it:
The council's own services — bin collections, roads, planning, libraries, leisure and adult social care. York is a single (unitary) authority, so this one line covers what a county and a district council split elsewhere. Includes the ring-fenced 2% adult social care precept.
+4.99% on last year.
North Yorkshire Police, funded by the policing precept the Mayor sets as the area's Police and Crime Commissioner. Up £15.00 a year on 2025/26.
North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service, funded through the Mayor's general precept. The Mayor raised only the fire and rescue element of this precept for 2026/27 — up £9.60 a year on 2025/26.
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.
