East Riding households in the lowest council tax bands are set for hikes of £31.02 after councils approved rates for the coming financial year.
Households in Band A in the East Riding, the band with the largest share of homes, will pay £808.40.
Band D households are set to pay £46.52 more in the East Riding, with yearly bills of £1,212.59.
The increases include ring-fenced hikes for adult social care but exclude precepts for Humberside Police, Humberside Fire and Rescue and town and parish councils.
East Riding councillors approved Conservative group proposals to increase levies on households there by 3.99 per cent at a meeting on Thursday, February 10.
Council leader Cllr Jonathan Owen said it came amid ongoing financial pressures from coronavirus, the austerity of the previous decade and uncertainty around arrangements for local authority funding going forward.
Meanwhile, the Humberside Police and Crime Commissioner has hiked their precept on households by £9.99, or 4.1 per cent, just shy of the £10 limit before a referendum is required.
Humberside Fire Authority have increased their precept by 1.99 per cent.
The hikes come as Band A to D households are set to receive a £150 council tax rebate in April under plans to soften the blow of rocketing energy bills.
The proportion of homes eligible in the East Riding is 83 per cent of the area’s 159,010 households, or 132,330.
