Some people living in Rottingdean, Hanover Crescent, Marine Square and Royal Crescent will pay slightly more.
Labour council leader Nancy Platts praised councillors from all three parties for coming together to agree the extra funding for the Madeira Terraces.
Councillor Platts praised the hard work of the Save the Madeira Terraces raffle group and said the theft of lead from the terraces over Christmas had been a real blow.
Labour’s finance lead Councillor Daniel Yates said: “Budgets can be improved by amendments. Budgets can be improved by listening. And budgets can be improved by co-operation.
“But this city can best be improved by an ongoing Labour administration.”
The amended budget, he said, with the extra money for the seafront, was a win for future generations.
The revenue budget totals £775 million for running day-to-day council services, including schools and housing. This is more than £2 million a day.
The capital budget totals about £160 million and covers investments in housing, regeneration, schools and highways and transport.
Councillor Joe Miller, for the Conservatives, said: “For one fifth of my lifetime, you have been unable to walk on the Madeira Terraces.
