If you believe your council tax band is incorrect, you can appeal the decision through a couple of steps. Firstly, you should contact the Valuation Office to request a check on your property band. If you still disagree with their appraisal, you can appeal to the Valuation Tribunal.
Here’s a quick overview of the steps involved:
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1. Contact the Valuation Office | Request a review of your council tax band. This is a free service. |
| 2. Write to the council | If the band remains disputed, write to the council with your reasons for the appeal. |
| 3. Tribunal Appeal | If you're still dissatisfied, appeal to the Valuation Tribunal within 2 months. |
Remember, you must continue to pay your council tax during this process. If your appeal is successful, any overpayment will either be credited to your account or refunded.
