Councillors agreed to a 1.99 per cent increase at a meeting last night.
It will mean the average Band D taxpayer will pay 22 pounds and 68 pence more than last year.
Conservative Devon County Council leader John Hart says the rise will protect services such as school crossing patrols and pay for extra road gritting in the winter.
The rise will bring in an extra six million pounds.
