Council tax

Lichfield District Council collects Council Tax in the Lichfield District. The money collected is used to help provide the services run by Staffordshire County Council, Staffordshire Police Authority, Staffordshire Fire Authority, local parish councils and us.

The amount of Council Tax set depends on how much certain public bodies in your area spend and how much they get from elsewhere. The amount you have to pay also depends on which valuation band your home is placed in.

A table of Council Tax charges 2009-2010 by Parish is now available to download in PDF Format or you can use our handy Council Tax Calculator.

This year (2009/10) Lichfield District Council will receive £137.44 per average household (band 'D') towards providing our services. This will represent a third of our total revenue expenditure, with the rest of the money we spend coming from Government Grants, Trading income and council savings.
