Half of my back garden *is* in a different parish to the rest of the property.
Drifting off topic, I know but I've always wondered about situations
like that. How does your Council Tax work? Does each authority levy a
charge (or aren't these particular parish councils precepting ones?

Yes, they are precepting ones. Indeed, for some years the one including
the house had the highest precept in the District, sometimes
significantly higher than the District Council's precept. [Mind, the DC
had a zero precept at least once.]

The answer is that there's no council tax due on garden land, so it
doesn't become an issue. On the other hand, it means that my (and other
houses) garden fence is required to stop at the boundary - beyond it we
can only have hedges.
