Warminster Town Council has decided Council Tax for the 2026-2027 financial year as it looks to maintain a “good value service for residents”.
Members resolved on the Warminster Town Council budget and precept representing an increase to the precept of £94,360 to maintain a balanced budget following a Full Council meeting on Monday 5th January 2026.
This represents an increase for a Band D property from £218.66 to £229.61 per annum. This works out as an increase of £10.94 a year, or 21 pence a week.

As typical properties in Warminster are Band C or below and some households receive discounts, the actual increase for most households will be slightly less.
Cllr Andrew Cooper, Mayor of Warminster, said:
Warminster Town Council continues to invest in the town. This is a sustainable budget that puts the council in a strong position to continue to serve the local community and maintain a good value service for residents.”
The town council sets only a small part of Wiltshire’s Council Tax; the majority of the Council Tax charged goes to Wiltshire Council, with other sums going to the Police and Crime Commissioner, the Fire and Rescue Authority, and to support adult social care in the county.
Warminster Town Council’s main responsibilities include the Lake Pleasure Grounds, play areas, public toilets, CCTV, green spaces, markets and events including the Warminster Remembrance Parade and Service and Christmas Lights Switch-on.
