Council Tax Banding Appeals

Follow our advice and guidance to make an appeal with your Council Tax and its banding.

There are a number of reasons why you may wish to appeal with regards to Council Tax.

Valuation Bands

You can appeal if you think your property is in the wrong band. However the rules are quite strict.

No appeals are allowed based on the general movement in house prices. You will have to show there has been a misunderstanding over the value of your property, or that its value relative to other properties in the area has changed.

Enquiries can be made via the The Valuation Office: Eastbourne office.

Liability Appeals

You can appeal if you think you are not liable to pay Council Tax. This could be because someone else is liable for the Council Tax bill, or it could be because your property is exempt.

You can also appeal if you think there is a mistake in your bill. Write to our Director of Finance and Community Services with details of your case.

Pending Appeals

Making an appeal does not entitle you to withhold payment of your Council Tax instalments. You should continue to pay as normal until your appeal is resolved.
