Parish and town councils in South Gloucestershire
50 of the 50 parishes and charter trustees here set a precept for 2026-27. Band D in an area with no parish precept is about £2,403.20. The estimated bills add each parish part to the council's average charge; where a council charges special expenses or levies in part of its area the real bill differs, in the bills we checked by up to £34.
South Gloucestershire also charges special expenses in part of its area (£2,950,924 in all, £28.14 per Band D home on average across the council). The parish and no-parish figures here leave them out, because the statistics do not say which areas pay them, so where they apply the bill is higher. The council's own bill shows them.
