Appealing against your council tax band

You only have six months from becoming the taxpayer to appeal against your banding. After this time limit you may only appeal in certain circumstances, for example if part of your property has been demolished or part or all of it is now used as a business. If you require further information on the grounds for making an appeal, and on how to make one, please follow the link to the Valuation Office at the foot of the page.

If you wish to make an appeal, you can do this online from the Valuation Office website, or you should contact your local Valuation Office at:

Listing Officer
Council Tax West
Valuation Office Agency
Overline House
Blechynden Terrace
Southampton
SO15 1GW

Tel: 03000 501501
Email: ctwest@voa.gsi.gov.uk

You must pay on the current band until the Valuation Office has agreed to a new band and altered the Banding List. The Valuation Office is part of the Inland Revenue and not local government. If you wish to check your band or that of any other property, follow the link to the Valuation Office website. Search facilities are provided to help you find the properties you are looking for.
