Historical statutory Band D charges and budget dynamics for Coventry City Council.
Coventry City Council is a single-tier metropolitan authority serving over 350,000 residents across 18 wards. The baseline 2026/27 Band D Council Tax rate is £2,516.72, making it one of the higher municipal rates in the West Midlands.
Over 65% of domestic residential properties in Coventry are classified in Band A or Band B. Because lower-band properties pay reduced proportions (6/9 and 7/9) of the benchmark charge, the council must set a higher Band D rate to generate the revenue needed to support statutory social care and municipal operations.
English councils with social care remits can increase core council tax by up to 2.99% plus an additional 2% adult social care precept (total 4.99%) per annum without a local referendum.
Key questions answered regarding payments, single occupancy discounts, and appeals in Coventry.
Coventry's baseline Band D charge (£2,516.72) is higher than Birmingham's (£2,362.90) primarily because of housing stock demographics. More than 65% of homes in Coventry sit in lower tax bands (Band A and B). To generate the statutory funding required for adult social care and children's services from a lower tax base, the headline Band D rate must be set higher.
For 2026/27, Band B Council Tax in Coventry is £1,957.45 per year. If you claim the statutory 25% single person discount, your bill is £1,468.09 per year (or £146.81 per month over 10 instalments).
Yes. Keresley Parish Council and Allesley Parish Council levy modest statutory parish precepts (typically £20 to £35 annually on Band D) to finance local playing fields, conservation projects, and parish council administration.
