If you still disagree with our decision to bill you, contact us immediately, in writing and tell us why you should not be liable to pay the Council Tax
Refusal to grant an exemption or discount

If you still disagree with our decision contact us immediately, in writing and tell us why you disagree.
Completion notices for new-build properties
If you disagree with the date that we think your home is ready to live in (if a newly built home), please look at the New and altered properties page for more information about how the completion date of a newly built property is decided.

If you make an appeal you must continue to pay your bill until the appeal is settled.
