Frequently asked questions
How much is council tax in WS12?
A Band D property billed by Cannock Chase pays £2,376 in 2026-27. Band A is two-thirds of that, and Band H is double.
Why is my band based on 1991 values?
England has never revalued for council tax, so every band still reflects what the property would have sold for on 1 April 1991. Wales revalued once, to 1 April 2003 values, which is why it has an extra Band I.
Do the bands include water or precepts?
The figures here include local and major precepts such as police and fire, and parish precepts on average. Water charges are billed separately by your water company in England and Wales.
What discounts can reduce the bill?
A single adult in the property gets 25% off. Full-time students, people with severe mental impairment and some carers are disregarded entirely, and empty or unfurnished homes may get a short exemption.
