Kent Fire & Rescue Service - Survey on Council Tax for 2026/27

Kent Fire and Rescue Service (KFRS) is asking people across the county for their views on the level of Council Tax they’d be prepared to pay towards their fire and rescue service for 2026/27.

Council Tax is a significant source of funding for KFRS, currently covering around 66p in every £1 of the service’s daily budget.

At the moment, a Band D property in Kent pays around £1.82 a week towards KFRS — roughly the cost of a box of eggs or a loaf of bread — about 4% of the overall Council Tax bill.

Our short survey takes just five minutes to complete.

We want to hear from all parts of our community which is why we’ve come to you.
