Special expenses
Parish Councils usually manage services like park maintenance, allotment provision, and ditch upkeep. They charge a precept to cover these costs, which is added to the Council Tax bills of residents in that parish.
Most of our administrative area is unparished so we calculate the cost of providing these services. This cost is included in your Council Tax bill as 'Unparished Area Special Expenses'.
Other districts in Oxfordshire
Oxford City Council does not administer or collect Council Tax for other districts in Oxfordshire (Cherwell, West Oxfordshire, South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse District Council).
