Council Tax bands in Flintshire
A Band D household in Flintshire pays £2,376 in 2026/27. Every other band is a fixed proportion of that figure — the proportions are set in law, so once you know the Band D amount you know what every band costs. The table below is that calculation, alongside how many homes in Flintshire actually sit in each band.
What each band costs in Flintshire
Figures include the precepts charged alongside the council’s own share — police, fire and, where they apply, county and parish precepts. This is the amount a household is billed, not the council’s own portion of it. Charges are rounded to the nearest pound; your actual bill states pence.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £44,000 | £1,584 | 4,520 | 6.3% |

What the numbers say about Flintshire
Flintshire has 71,570 domestic properties on the valuation list. 49.1% of them are in bands A to C, and 67.8% are at Band D or below. The most common band is Band C.
For a typical Flintshire home, moving from Band C to Band B would cut the annual bill by about £264. A successful challenge is also normally backdated to when you moved in, so the one-off refund is often several times the annual figure.
Flintshire is banded against 1 April 2003 values, not 1991, because Wales was revalued — so the arithmetic behind a Flintshire challenge is different from anywhere in England, and Wales has a ninth band (I) that England does not. Flintshire's stock is far more evenly spread than the northern English authorities in this pilot, with about half of homes in bands A–C.
Does that mean your band is wrong?
Not on its own. The single most common mistake is reading a table like the one above and concluding that because most homes nearby are in a lower band, yours must be too. Band is a judgement about your specific property at 1 April 2003 — its size, type and age — so the only comparisons that count are with properties genuinely like yours. A large detached house surrounded by flats is usually banded correctly, however lopsided the street looks.
Be aware too that a review can move a band up as well as down, and it can affect neighbouring properties. That is why our free check scores the strength of the evidence before anything else, and tells you plainly when a challenge is not worth pursuing.
Where these figures come from
Band D charges are Welsh Government published figures for 2026/27, including all precepts. The per-band charges are derived from that Band D amount using the statutory ratios, which is exactly how a council calculates them. Property counts are the Valuation Office Agency’s Council Tax stock of properties data as at 31 March 2025. All three are Open Government Licence.
Charges change each April and stock counts are published annually, so treat the counts as the most recent official position rather than a live figure.
