You are entitled to appeal if you disagree that you are liable for Council Tax and how much you are liable to pay.

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 personal discount

How to appeal

Firstly, you must write to the Council Tax Section. You should state your name and address, the reference number on your bill (if known) and explain what you object to and why. When we receive your letter, we may need to ask you for more information.
