Every band includes the share of every body that sets council tax here, such as the police and, where they exist, the county council, the fire authority and parish councils, with parish precepts as an average. A home in a parish with its own precept pays a different amount, and discounts such as the single person discount are not taken off.

Who receives your council tax
Band D bill breakdown in Kings Lynn and West Norfolk
These are the published 2026/27 area averages. Parish charges are averaged into the council line. They are already included in the total and must not be added again.
| Part of the bill | Charging body | Annual Band D |
|---|---|---|
| Council, including average local precepts | Kings Lynn and West Norfolk | £241.96 |
| County or GLA | Norfolk | £1,843.38 |
| Police | Norfolk PCC | £344.79 |
| Fire | No separate precept reported | £0.00 |
| Combined authority | No separate precept reported | £0.00 |
| Published area average, including all precepts | £2,430.13 | |
Adult social care is included in council charges. Police and fire may be funded within another line, including a combined-authority or GLA charge. A zero separate line does not mean the service is absent. The named bodies come from MHCLG's billing-area mapping for this year.
The council's own Band D, excluding local precepts, is £174.19. This is a separate measure, not an additional charge.
This council reports special expenses charged in part of its area. Its average council share cannot be treated as a uniform charge for every address. Use the council's local schedule for an exact bill.

Long-term Band D history
The national live table holds 34 published area figures for Kings Lynn and West Norfolk, from 1993/94 to 2026/27. This series is generally rounded to whole pounds, so it can differ from the penny figures in the recent band tables.
£507 to £2,430(+379.3% in cash terms)
Not adjusted for inflation. A change in services or council structure can affect comparisons. Missing years stay missing; we do not join predecessor councils ourselves. MHCLG carries forward predecessor-area history only where its published series does so, including some district-to-unitary changes with unchanged boundaries.
