How do I appeal against my council tax banding?

You can appeal within the first six months that you become the owner and/or taxpayer of a property. You must appeal to the Listing Officer in Lincoln. However, if the same appeal has been considered and determined by a Valuation Tribunal, it cannot be heard again.

The grounds for appeal about the banding of your property are restricted to the following cases:

• you believe that the banding should be changed because there has been a material increase or a material reduction in the dwellings' value
• where you start or stop using part of your dwelling to carry out a business, or the balance between domestic and business use changes
• where the Listing Officer has altered a list without a proposal having been made by a taxpayer

The Listing Officer is an independent officer of the Crown and can be contacted using the following details:
