Each band charge is copied from MHCLG's Table 9, "Area council tax for a dwelling occupied by 2 adults by band",
for 2026/27. It is the whole-area charge: the authority's own tax, the adult social care precept, the average
parish precept and the other precepts collected on the same bill, such as police and fire. Nothing is
estimated from Band D. The living-alone column is the same figure with the 25% single-person discount
taken off.
What changed from 2025/26
East Riding of Yorkshire Council's own average Band D, including the adult social care and parish precepts, is
£2,044.50 for 2026/27, up
5.09% on 2025/26. Of that rise,
£37.42 (2.00% on the 2025/26
Band D) is the adult social care precept, which councils with social care duties may add on top of the
ordinary limit, up to 2% for 2026/27.
The difference between that figure and the £2,466.08 area Band D in the table is the police, fire and any
other precepts collected with it. Any county council, police, fire and combined authority precepts that apply to East Riding of Yorkshire are collected on the same bill. MHCLG publishes the year-on-year change for the authority's own part, not for
the whole-area Band D of each authority, so no whole-bill change is quoted here.

Which council tax band is my home in East Riding of Yorkshire?
Your band is on your council tax bill, and you can look it up free by postcode on GOV.UK (Valuation Office Agency). It depends on the home's value on 1 April 1991, not its value today.
Why is my East Riding of Yorkshire bill different from the figure for my band?
The band figure is an area average with two adults in the home. Your own bill can differ because parishes inside East Riding of Yorkshire charge different precepts, because of a discount or exemption (such as 25% for living alone), and because councils can add a premium to second homes and long-term empty homes.
