The average household in Kent will pay at least £73 more a year after KCC approved a 5% council tax hike.
The council tax hike would mean Kent homeowners fork out an extra £37million annually
KCC s increase means those in that band will pay an additional £60 on top of the current £1,201 annual payment.
The authority previously said the extra funds would be used to bolster its reserves ahead of today s vote.
On top of the county and police contribution residents also pay tax to their local authority (Maidstone, Dartford etc), the fire service and, depending on where they live, parish councils.
