Banding Appeals
If you feel that your property has been placed in the wrong band, you have the right to appeal. You may also appeal if you think your property should not appear in the Valuation List at all.
An appeal may be made by the resident liable to pay the tax, or the owner of the property if this is somebody different.
The grounds of any appeal should be sufficient to cause the property to be placed in a different band, if the appeal were successful.
However, a banding appeal may only be made in the following circumstances:
- If it is within six months of you becoming a new taxpayer of a property
- If it is within six months of a new property being added to the Valuation List
- If a property is split into parts, or a merger has taken place
- If it is within six months of the Valuation Officer informing you that the List is to be amended
- If there has been a change in the state or condition of the neighbourhood area around the property
- If all or part of the property has been demolished
The Valuation Officer, whose address is shown in the contacts section on the right, will be able to inform you of your rights of appeal.
Even though you may decide to appeal or have already appealed, you must still pay the tax as billed until your appeal has been settled. If your appeal succeeds, your account would be adjusted accordingly.
The making of an appeal does not entitle you to withhold payment of the Council Tax.
