On day one of the new unitary councils, households would pay different amounts of council tax depending on which area they lived in.
If Option A is chosen, Peterborough’s Band D council tax could rise by £216.
Under Option D, the current total of £1,749.42 could increase by about £31.52, or 1.77%, bringing the total to £1,780.94.
Meanwhile, residents in West Huntingdonshire could see their bills fall by £85.56.
Deputy chief finance officer Emma Riding told councillors that harmonisation should ideally happen as soon as possible.
“I know 1.77% is an increase, but it’s not a significant increase,” she said.
“It is about doing the right thing for sustainability in the future, and that’s the way you’re going to have to look at it when the time comes for making a decision.”
