Appeals
Appeals to the Valuation Office
You can appeal, in certain
circumstances, to the Valuation Office if you consider that the
Council Tax Band applied to your property is wrong. The grounds for
appealing are limited.
For further details contact the
Valuation Office:
Appeals to the Council
You can appeal to the Council if you consider:
- You are not the correct person to be charged;
- The property should be exempt;
- There has been an error calculating the amount due.
You should put your appeal in writing to the Local Taxation
Section including as much information about the grounds for your
appeal as possible. Making an appeal does not allow you to withhold
payment of tax owing in the meantime.
Appeals to the Valuation Tribunal
The Valuation Tribunal deals with appeals against the
decisions of the Local Authority regarding liability, exemptions
and discounts. They will only deal with an appeal if you are
dissatisfied with the outcome of an appeal to the Valuation Office
or the Council.
