Work out your bill, then see how every parish compares. Rates for **2026**. Rateable values from the parish Rates Lists as they stood in late April 2026. A typical home pays £429 to £570 A year, depending on the parish, for an owner living in a home of 9,800 quarters Highest parish rate 1.95p St Mary, per quarter Lowest parish rate 1.23p St John, per quarter Island-wide Rate 0.96p Per quarter for homes, up from 0.94p in 2025 ## Work out your rates An owner who lives in the home pays both the owner's (foncier) and the occupier's rate on the full rateable value. A landlord of a furnished let is liable for the occupier's rate too, though it can be recovered from the tenant. Your rate demand from the parish is the final word. ## Rates in each parish Each parish sets its own rate per quarter at its Parish Assembly, to cover its spending. Every ratepayer also pays the Island-wide Rate, 0.96p a quarter for homes and 1.41p for business premises, which the parishes pass to the States. *Chart: Parish rate per quarter, 2026 (see the data tables and CSV download)* *Chart: The same home in every parish: yearly rates for 9,800 quarters (see the data tables and CSV download)* ## What a typical home pays in each parish Homes are bigger and rateable values higher in the country parishes, so a typical bill reflects both the parish rate and the homes in the parish. The middle home in St Mary pays £698 a year; in St Helier it pays £344. *Chart: Yearly rates for the middle home in each parish, 2026 (see the data tables and CSV download)* **Homes on the Rates Lists and typical rateable values** | Parish | Homes | Typical rateable value (quarters) | Middle 50% of homes (quarters) | Typical yearly rates | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | St Mary | 703 | 12,000 | 8,600 to 15,030 | £698 | | Grouville | 2,195 | 13,000 | 10,000 to 18,550 | £621 | | St Brelade | 4,515 | 12,000 | 9,500 to 16,200 | £588 | | St Martin | 1,878 | 10,930 | 7,750 to 15,484 | £575 | | Trinity | 1,254 | 11,782 | 9,841 to 13,814 | £556 | | St Ouen | 1,563 | 11,960 | 9,610 to 16,000 | £555 | | St Peter | 2,396 | 11,000 | 8,038 to 14,200 | £524 | | St John | 1,221 | 11,850 | 10,130 to 15,000 | £519 | | St Lawrence | 2,335 | 11,000 | 8,600 to 14,500 | £497 | | St Saviour | 5,656 | 9,500 | 7,500 to 11,505 | £485 | | St Clement | 4,349 | 10,400 | 8,100 to 12,400 | £472 | | St Helier | 16,021 | 7,380 | 5,880 to 9,740 | £344 | ## How rateable values are spread Rateable values were fixed in 2004 and change only when a property changes.

The 793 assessments with no rateable value are left out. No individual property is shown. Parish rates and the Island-wide Rate are as published by the parishes and in the States Assembly report on Island-wide Rate figures for 2026. Typical rateable values by type of home come from [A guide to the assessment of Parish Rates in Jersey](https://comite.je/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2025/06/A-guide-to-the-assessment-of-Parish-Rates-in-Jersey-.pdf) (Comité des Connétables, June 2025). Types of home and tenure are from the 2021 Census (Statistics Jersey, Open Government Licence – Jersey).
