Council Tax – Why is the house down the road in a lower Council Tax band than mine?
• All properties were valued before the start of Council Tax. The effective date was 1 April 1991. • After valuation, the properties were placed in one of the 8 bands, from A to H. • Bands are based on the saleable value of the property on 1 April 1991, NOT its current value. • Some apparently similar properties may differ in band. This is most likely to happen when the valuations made on each property border two bands. • Appeals needed to be made by November 1993. However, if you become the owner of or move into a property for the first time, you may make an appeal within 6 months. • If you do appeal, you must carry on paying your original bill. If your appeal is successful we will refund any money that you have overpaid. • To make an appeal, call the Tayside Valuation Joint Board on (01382) 315602 and ask for the form for ‘Making a Proposal to alter the Valuation List’.
