About Harrow’s figures
Harrow has the third highest average Band D among London's 32 boroughs for 2026/27, at £2,511.07, behind only Kingston upon Thames and Croydon; Kingston's Band D is £98.13 higher than Harrow's. On the English scale it stands 88th of 296, £100.10 above the simple average of all council areas.
Compared with the £2,395.86 of 2025/26, the charge is up £115.21, or 4.8%. Harrow Council receives £2,000.56 of a Band D bill and the Greater London Authority £510.51, about a fifth of the total (20.3%). The GLA precept contains the cost of policing by the Metropolitan Police and of London's fire brigade, which is why the Harrow figures show no separate police or fire precept. No parish charge is made either.
The borough's housing is mostly in the middle and upper-middle bands. The lowest bands are almost empty, with 830 properties in A and 4,510 in B. Band D is the largest group at 30,280, then Band C with 23,260 and Band E with 22,650. A Band E bill averages £3,069.09 this year. Out of 97,630 properties, 1,320 are in Band H, where the average reaches £5,022.14.
Even the rare Band A homes in Harrow pay £1,674.05 on average, more than five English councils ask at Band D. Harrow's budget arithmetic counts 90,629 Band D equivalents, not far short of the number of properties, and assumes 98% will be collected.
Band D is the band the national tables use to compare councils. In Harrow it is £2,511.07 a year. Across the 296 councils in England the simple average of Band D is £2,410.97, and 208 of them charge less than Harrow.
The dearest Band D in England is Dorset at £2,765.02; the cheapest is Wandsworth at £1,028.21.
