To appeal your council tax band assignment, you need to take a few steps based on the council's procedure. Firstly, you can ask the Valuation Office to check your band if you believe it was valued incorrectly. If you're not satisfied with the decision about your liability, you can submit your appeal in writing to the council, explaining your reasons.
Here's a simple summary of the steps involved:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| Contact Valuation Office | Request a check of your council tax band valuation (this is free). |
| Submit Written Appeal | Write to the council with your reasons if you disagree with the band or decision about your liability. |
| Wait for Response | The council will review your appeal and respond in writing. |
| Further Appeal | If still dissatisfied, you can appeal to the Valuation Tribunal within 2 months of their decision. |
Make sure you continue to pay your council tax while your appeal is being processed. For more details or assistance, you can check your council tax band here.
