Who Sets Your Bill: Precepting Authority Structure

Statutory breakdown structure for Council Tax levied across Fylde (Fylde District Council).

Statutory Local Tiers

Four-Tier Shire County & District Precept Structure

As a two-tier non-metropolitan district, your total bill in Fylde is split between four separate precepting bodies:

  • County Council (typically ~70% of bill): Funds upper-tier services including adult social care, children's services, education infrastructure, major highways, and public health.
  • Fylde District Council (District Billing Authority, ~10–15%): Collects your tax and funds local borough functions—refuse collection, housing, planning approvals, and environmental health.
  • Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC, ~10–12%): Sets an independent precept to fund regional policing operations.
  • Fire and Rescue Authority (~3–4%): Funds emergency fire rescue and prevention operations.

Where applicable, parished communities also contribute a local Town or Parish Council precept for hyper-local amenities.

Official Bill Verification: Exact statutory line-by-line pound allocations are itemised on your annual Council Tax Demand Notice issued each March. For specific budget schedules, consult Fylde District Council's official 2026/27 council tax resolution.
