Here is a list of confirmed council tax rises for 2025/26 for all top-tier local authorities in England.
The list has been compiled by the PA news agency.
The data covers only the 153 top-tier local authorities in England: county councils, London boroughs, Metropolitan boroughs and unitary authorities.
It does not include lower-tier district councils.
The list is divided into four sections, corresponding to the four types of top-tier authority, with each section arranged alphabetically.
For each authority, the percentage increase in council tax in 2025/26 is given, along with (in brackets) the increase in the previous two years of 2024/25 and 2023/24.
The figures for 2024/25 and 2023/24 are sourced from the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government.
