Band D is the authority's published average area charge; other bands use the statutory ratios in the Local Government Finance Act 1992, so a parish precept can move an actual bill a little either way.

The band itself belongs to the property, set by the Valuation Office Agency; the highest Band D in England this year is Dorset, the lowest Wandsworth.
