How much is council tax in Lewes in 2026/27?

Choose a band. Each figure is the yearly charge for a home with two adults, as MHCLG publishes it, and the same amount over ten monthly instalments, the usual way it is paid.

Every band includes the share of every body that sets council tax here, such as the police and, where they exist, the county council, the fire authority and parish councils, with parish precepts as an average. A home in a parish with its own precept pays a different amount, and discounts such as the single person discount are not taken off.
