Parish Councils
Within Harrogate district there are 148 Parishes, making up 76 Parish and Town Councils and 11 parish meetings. Funding to support the activities of Parish and Town Councils is raised by adding an extra cost known as a "precept" to householders' council tax bill within each parish. Your parish precept will be clearly shown on your council tax bill.
Parish Councils are elected on four year terms. The
last elections for Knaresborough and Ripon Parishes were
held in 2007 and elections for the 130 rural
Parishes in 2008.

Councils (opens in new window)
