Appeals to a valuation tribunal

You may appeal if:

• you disagree with the date on the completion notice of a new property
• you disagree with the decision on your appeal to the council tax section
• the council tax section has not made a decision on your appeal within two months
• you disagree with the decision of your appeal to the Valuation Office

You will need to contact the Valuation Tribunal Service South Region, Parkside, Grove Road, Weston-Super-Mare, North Somerset, BS23 2AA

Telephone - 01934 412444              Fax - 01934 412111

Email - vtweston@vto.gsx.gov.uk

They will contact you to arrange a hearing and send you a leaflet explaining what to expect. Hearings usually last up to half a day and are free. However, if you use a solicitor to present your case, you will need to pay his or her charges. Some cases can be dealt with by letter only.

If you disagree with the Valuation Tribunal’s decision, you have four weeks from the date of its decision to ask for your appeal to be looked at again or take the appeal to the High Court on a question of law.
