Valuation Appeal Committee

Format of The Committee

The Valuation Appeal Committee comprises a panel of lay men and women who sit to decide appeals against the values which the Assessor has placed on properties in their area.

They are not connected in any way with the Assessor, nor with the Councils, although for reasons of administrative convenience they usually sit in property owned by the Councils.

There are no particular qualifications required of members of the Committee, but its Secretary is a solicitor, who attends to correspondence and advises the Committee on any legal matters. He takes no part, however, in reaching the Committee's decision.
