Council tax is going up in Harlow – but who will be paying what?

Residents face council tax increases from the town council, the county council and police force.

Only Essex Fire and Rescue has not increased its share of council tax.

From April 1 the overall bill will increase by 1.88 per cent which on a Band C home in Harlow is an extra £31.41 a year.

Here is how much each council tax precept is going to cost residents and the total bill for all property bands.

New Council Tax bills will go out this month.

Harlow Council only keeps £15 of every £100 of council tax collected. The rest is split between Essex County Council, Essex Police and Essex Fire and Rescue Service.
