The Council approved the Budget and set the Council Tax for 2026/27.

This means a Council Tax increase of 6.09% to fund Council services and a 0.41% increase to fund the North Wales Fire and Rescue Service levy, which is a combined increase of 6.5%.

Based on a Band D Council Tax, that’s an increase of £115.01 (£2.21 per week) for Council services and an increase of £7.74 (£0.15 per week) for the North Wales Fire and Rescue Service levy. That’s a combined increase of £122.75 (£2.36 per week), which raises the Band D equivalent Council Tax to £2,011.26.

The actual level of Council Tax chargeable for an individual property will depend on the valuation band for the property, the precept for the Police and Crime Commissioner for North Wales, and the Town / Community Council where the property is situated.

Conwy has around 56,200 dwellings subject to Council Tax, of which around 21,200 receive single person discount. 
Around 9,500 households are supported by the Council Tax Reduction Scheme (some of whom will also receive single person discount).
