How do I appeal against a council tax decision?
Since the 30 September 2006 only certain formal limited appeals can now be made against your council tax band for the 2005 Valuation List.
These are after demolition of a property, conversion of houses to flats or a physical change in the local area affecting the property’s value and within 6 months of a band change to your property by the Listing Officer or a band change made by the court to a similar property as yours or becoming a new taxpayer for a property.
However if you consider your valuation band is or has been incorrect, the Listing Officer MAY be able to review your band.
Further detailed information is available from the Listing Officer, Ty Glyder, 339 High Street, Bangor, Gwynedd, LL57 1YA or tel: 01248 287800.
You may appeal if you consider that you are not liable to pay council tax, for example, you are not the owner, or the property is exempt or there is a mistake in calculating your bill.
If you wish to appeal you should first notify the council in writing. Further details on the appeal procedures (including the role of Valuation Tribunals) may be obtained from the council. Making an appeal does not allow you to with-hold payment of tax owing in the meantime. If your appeal is successful you will be entitled to a refund of any overpaid tax.
