Appeal a Council Tax bill or fine

Appeal a fine or completion notice

You can appeal a completion notice if you disagree with one you’ve received.

You may also be able to appeal a fine.

You may get a completion notice if:

A completion notice tells you the date you must start paying Council Tax, because the council believes work will be completed by then.

You must appeal within 28 days of getting the notice.

You can appeal a council tax penalty if you disagree with a fine you received for not telling your council about your Council Tax when asked.

You must appeal within 2 months of getting the fine.

You may be able to submit a late appeal if you cannot apply in time because of circumstances beyond your control.

The Valuation Tribunal has guidance on how appeal hearings work.

You do not have to pay your fine until your appeal is decided. If you’re appealing a notice, you need to pay Council Tax from the date on the notice.
