Local authority has increased it by five pence more than 2025
Arbory and Rushen Commissioners says it has been 'mindful' of ratepayers and the ongoing cost of living crisis whilst setting its rate.
The local authority has increased it to 188 pence in the pound, which is five pence more than 2025.
It says for every £100 spent, more than half goes on waste, £13 goes towards public spaces and buildings and the Southern Swimming Pool takes £3.25.
The commissioners add the budget was agreed after 'detailed scrutiny' and aims to maintain core services and 'support' shared southern facilities.
It also says that a factor in its budget was a reduction in the Mineral Rate Reserve, and a reassessment of the quarry rate has helped to 'stabilise' income to the board.
The local authority says it is progressing essential infrastructure work, including a planned replacement and upgrading of street lighting.
Chair Kirrie Jenkins said: "The reality is that the majority of the parish rate is driven by costs that are largely outside the direct control of the Commissioners, particularly waste disposal. We continue to fully support the Southern Civic Amenity Site which remains a valued service for our residents and Recycle Collect, an optional doorstep recycling service.
"We have taken a common-sense approach. We are progressing what is necessary and achievable, while being mindful of affordability for ratepayers and ensuring value for money.”
