If you think your rateable value is wrong, you can make a proposal to alter it. This is known as making an appeal.
You can appeal if you think any of the following applies:
1. The rateable value shown in the valuation roll (either following a revaluation or when the property is first valued) is wrong.
2. There has been a material change of circumstances which has affected the value of your property. Material change of circumstances include:
- a physical change to the building (for example, if part of it is demolished or destroyed).
- a physical change in a local area (for example, if there has been major road works or flooding in the area).
- a change in the use of the building
- a change in the use of a neighbouring property.
3. An Assessor's change in value is wrong.
4. A decision by a Valuation Appeal Committee, Lands Tribunal or Higher Court has affected your own valuation.
5. Your property should be exempt, or part of it should be considered as a domestic property.
6. Your property should be considered for rating as more than one property, or several properties should be considered as one property.
7. There is another sort of error in the list entry, for example, the address is wrong or the date of an alteration is wrong.
