About Council tax
The Council Tax you pay funds services provided by us, Hertfordshire County Council and Hertfordshire Police.
The amount of Council Tax each household pays per year is based on the value of the property. This excludes town and parish council charges (if you live in areas served by town and parish councils, you will also pay an extra charge for their services).
Your Council Tax bill states which band applies to your property. To find out how much you should pay, you can check the banding level of your property.
Charges for 2023-2024
We collect your Council Tax on behalf of Dacorum Borough Council, Hertfordshire County Council, the Police and Crime Commissioner for Hertfordshire and the parish and town councils. Council Tax rises are set individually by each of these organisations.
We have raised our element of the Council Tax by 2.9 per cent, which equates to £6.27 per year for a band D property.
