According to MHCLG, Council Tax levels set by local authorities in England 2026-27, East Riding of Yorkshire's Band D Council Tax is £2,466.08 for 2026-27 (OVER), the 130th highest of 350 UK billing authorities (higher than 63% of them) and 6% above the UK average of £2,337.00.
How we calculate this rank & percentile
We compare every UK billing authority with a published 2026-27 Band D rate (350 in total). Rank is one plus the number with a higher charge, so equal charges share a rank. Percentile is round(authorities with a lower charge ÷ 350 × 100). The UK average is the simple mean of every council's Band D rate in our coverage set. Because the rank spans all three nations, it compares what each authority charges, not what each charge buys. English bands rest on 1991 property values in eight bands, A to H, while Scotland uses its own 1991 thresholds and Wales revalued to 2003 values with a ninth band. An English Band D home is therefore not the same property profile as a Welsh or Scottish one. See our methodology page for the full source-to-figure lineage.

Derived position reading
What the East Riding of Yorkshire Band D figure shows
The published Band D charge of £2,466.08 places East Riding of Yorkshire 130th out of 350 UK billing authorities when ordered from the highest charge down. That position is derived from the full authority table, rather than from a single quoted comparison. It is 5.5% above the simple UK average of £2,337.00, while the percentile shows that 63% of the recorded authorities have a lower Band D charge.
The more useful local comparison is Yorkshire and The Humber. Here, East Riding of Yorkshire ranks 4th among 15 billing authorities, against a regional average of £2,374.00. The table of nearby authorities therefore compares published charges in the same geography, not property values or the level of service a household receives. Equal Band D charges share a position, so the ranking does not invent a difference where the underlying values match.
Band D is a statutory reference point, not a bill for every household. Charges for the other bands are calculated from the applicable national ratios, and discounts or exemptions can change an individual bill. This page is best used to understand the current published schedule and how this authority sits within the recorded 2026-27 council-tax corpus.

Closest housing-stock shape: South Derbyshire
South Derbyshire is an exceptionally close stock-shape match for East Riding of Yorkshire: moving 1.7% of dwellings between valuation bands would make the two published distributions align. That is a stricter comparison than sharing a modal band, because all published bands contribute to the distance.
Four largest band differences
- The largest separation is at reference Band D: its share is 15.5% in East Riding of Yorkshire and 16.4% in South Derbyshire. The familiar benchmark represents a larger slice of the peer's housing stock.
- A smaller distinction is lower on the ladder at Band A: East Riding of Yorkshire has 24.1% of dwellings there, against 23.2% in South Derbyshire. That extra lower-band weight pulls its stock profile away from the peer.
- A smaller distinction is lower on the ladder at Band C: East Riding of Yorkshire has 20.0% of dwellings there, against 19.2% in South Derbyshire. That extra lower-band weight pulls its stock profile away from the peer.
- A smaller distinction is an upper-band difference at Band E. South Derbyshire records 11.2% of dwellings there, compared with 10.5% in East Riding of Yorkshire, so the peer carries more of its stock at that higher rung.
Other close England matches for East Riding of Yorkshire: Stockport (2.6% redistribution distance); East Suffolk (2.8% redistribution distance); Westmorland and Furness (2.9% redistribution distance); Torridge (3.9% redistribution distance).

Property counts: VOA, Council Tax: stock of properties 2025 (Table CTSOP1.0_SUP, as at 9 September 2025), Open Government Licence v3.0. Counts are published rounded to the nearest 10, so shares are approximate and may not sum to exactly 100%. The stock-weighted average is our calculation: each band's 2026/2027 charge multiplied by its property count, divided by the total. It is a mean across the whole stock, not a bill any individual household receives.

Council Tax figure, precept and liability disclaimer
Council Tax charges shown on this page are derived from the published England Band D dataset and statutory England band ratios. They are intended as informational guidance, not as a personalised tax statement or legal advice. Your actual bill depends on your property's assigned band and on any discounts or exemptions that apply to your household. East Riding of Yorkshire is unitary, so this figure combines its own charge (including adult social care) with police and fire precepts where separate, plus any average parish precept. For a binding figure consult your East Riding of Yorkshire Council Tax bill or the official gov.uk Council Tax service. Figures published in 2026 reflect the 2026/2027 financial year only.
