Council Tax in Stubbington

Bands, rates, and who to contact

Stubbington falls within the Fareham Borough Council area for council tax purposes. Council tax bills are issued annually by Fareham Borough Council and include charges for the borough council, Hampshire County Council, Hampshire Police and Crime Commissioner, and Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service.

The council tax band for each property is determined by the Valuation Office Agency based on the estimated value of the property as at 1 April 1991. Most properties in Stubbington fall within bands C to E, reflecting the predominance of mid-range family homes. Some of the larger detached properties and those in premium positions may fall into bands F or G.

Payment can be made by direct debit, online, by telephone, or by other methods set out on the Fareham Borough Council website. Most residents pay over ten monthly instalments from April to January, though twelve-month payment plans are available on request.

Single person discount of 25 per cent is available for properties occupied by a single adult. Other discounts and exemptions apply in specific circumstances, including student exemptions and disability reductions.

Fareham Borough Council's council tax rates are set annually and published on the council's website. Hampshire County Council, as the upper-tier authority, sets its own precept which forms the largest component of the total bill.

Residents with queries about their council tax band, payment arrangements, or eligibility for discounts should contact Fareham Borough Council directly through their website or by telephone.
