Appeal a council tax bill decision

You can appeal to us if you have received a new or revised council tax bill and you don’t agree with our decision made as part of the billing process. 

If you want to appeal because:

• We haven't awarded you enough/any council tax support - find out more.
• You feel your council tax band is wrong - find out more.

If our decision was made because you had not provided the information that had been requested from you, then you must provide this information first before we can consider changing any decision. 

You must submit an appeal to us within two months of the date stated on your bill. 

We then must consider your appeal within two months.

• If we don't respond to your appeal within two months, you can then appeal directly to the Valuation Tribunal within a further two months. 
• If you disagree with our decision on your appeal, you can then appeal to the Valuation Tribunal within two months of the date of our appeal response.

In either case, you must appeal to the Valuation Tribunal within four months from the date of the first bill you disagreed with.

It is important that you continue to pay your council tax pending the result of any appeal.
