Northampton Borough Council collects Council Tax on behalf of all the precepting authorities in the local area, including Northamptonshire County Council, the Northamptonshire Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner and local Parish Councils.
Each precepting authority instructs Northampton Borough Council of the Council Tax amount they wish us to charge. These amounts are added together with the charge from Northampton Borough Council to create one bill for the residents of Northampton.
