The money raised through Council Tax helps the council to deliver services to the people of Middlesbrough every day.
Just a few services we provide include: keeping roads safe; supporting residents with health, social and family issues; ensuring waste and recycling is collected; removing graffiti; introducing children to reading through libraries; running elections and referendums which give residents a voice on local and national issues; investing in our town's buildings and people, and providing high quality schools.
Money from Council Tax is also given to the fire brigade and police to keep our communities safe.
Charges set out on this page include those made for services provided by Middlesbrough Council, Cleveland Fire Authority, and the Police and Crime Commissioner for Cleveland, but exclude parish precepts for Nunthorpe, and Stainton and Thornton.
