Information
Information about the new Income Banded Council Tax Reduction Scheme is available at https://www.threerivers.gov.uk/services/counciltax/ctrs
For adult social care authorities, council tax bills show two percentage changes: one for the part of the overall change attributable to the adult social
care precept (2.00%), and one for the part attributable to general expenditure (2.99%). The percentage change is applied to the full 2026/27 council
tax for the County Council (General expenditure + Adult Social Care precept). Information about spending by the County Council is available at
https://www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/counciltax; email contact@hertfordshire.gov.uk; telephone 0300 123 4040 or by writing to Hertfordshire County
Council, PO Box 153, Stevenage, Herts, SG1 2GH.
