The grounds for an appeal are the reason you think the rateable value is not right. You can read a list of common reasons for appealing online.

All the reasons fall into one of twelve categories.

• A The rateable value(s) in the rating list on the revaluation date was/were inaccurate.
• B The rateable value shown in the list by reason of an alteration made by the valuation officer is inaccurate.
• C The effective date of the alteration made by the valuation officer is inaccurate.
• D Circumstances affecting the rateable value of the property changed on a particular date.
• E The property has been demolished or no longer exists.
• F The property is now domestic or exempt from rating and is no longer rateable.
• G The entry shown on the list should be deleted for reasons other than E and F above.
• H The property should be shown as more than one assessment.
• I The properties should be shown as one or more different assessments.
• J I consider the property to be rateable.
• K The entry is wrong by reason of a decision of a tribunal or court on a particular date.
• L A statement required to be made in the list about the property is wrong or has been omitted.

How often can I appeal?

You can only appeal once against the rateable value set at revaluation.

You can also appeal once on any of the other grounds set out above. For example if we alter your rateable value then you can appeal once against that alteration.
