You are entitled to appeal if you disagree with a decision made by the council as to whether you are liable for council tax and how much you are liable to pay.

Council tax liability appeals

You can appeal if:

  • you disagree that you are the person liable to pay the council tax
  • you think your property should be exempt from council tax
  • you think you should be entitled to a reduction due to disability
  • you think you should be entitled to a discount

How to appeal

You must submit your appeal in writing to:

Appeals Team
Revenues and Benefits Service

Include:

  • your name, address and the date
  • the address of your property (if different)
  • the reference number and date shown on your council tax bill
  • your reasons for appealing and any proof that supports your appeal
  • supporting evidence documents

We will let you know our decision within 2 months. If you are not happy with our decision or have not received it in 2 months, you may be able to appeal to the Valuation Tribunal.
