Council tax

The area Band D council tax for Enfield, the billing authority covering Southgate, is £2,268 for 2026–27.

From MHCLG's council tax statistics (Table 9): the area average including police, fire and parish precepts, so it is the council's figure rather than the town's, and your own band depends on your property's 1991 valuation.
