Council Tax

The Appeals Process

Appeals against Council Tax Bands are initially called "proposals". After submission of a proposal, which must be in writing (see above), a member of the Assessor's staff will normally discuss the points you have made informally.

Most proposals are settled amicably at this stage, however, if a settlement cannot be achieved the proposal becomes a formal appeal and will be referred to an independent Valuation Appeal Committee.
