The County Council has set a precept of £150,000, to enable the new City of Durham Parish Council to function during its first year. This equates to a Band D Council Tax of £34.87. The amount chargeable to households will be detailed on the Council tax bill for those living in the newly established parish.

In future years, the precept will be determined by the Parish Council and will be collected as part of the annual council tax bill each year.
