The area Band D council tax for Flintshire, the billing authority covering Deeside, is £2,376 for 2026–27.

From the Welsh Government's council tax levels (Table 1): the overall average including police and community council elements, so it is the council's figure rather than the town's, and your own band depends on your property's 2003 valuation — Wales revalued in 2003 where England still uses 1991.
