Homeowners in Adur district face an overall council tax rise of 18.6 per cent.
The increase means that people living in band D homes will have to fork out £1,167.49 a year.
Residents of Lancing and Sompting will pay even more because of parish council precepts.
Council tax is made up from charges set by Arun District Council, West Sussex County Council and Sussex Police.
Adur's part of the bill has increased by 10.79 per cent, the county council - which accounts for three quarters of the total council tax bill - has boosted its part by 18.5 per cent and the police by 39.9 per cent.
Residents in Adur were consulted on whether they would prefer service cuts or an increase in council tax, the result of which was two to one in favour of an increase.
The Government expects a seven per cent increase in council tax generally and, this year, Adur said it could not afford to take £200,000 from its reserves, as it did last year, to soften the blow.
