Appeal a Council Tax bill
You can appeal if you think
- your home should not be charged Council Tax
- we are sending Council Tax bills to the wrong person in your home
- the amount of the bill is wrong
- you have not been given a discount that you believe should apply
- your bill has not been reduced, even though a disabled person lives in your household.
Please note that you cannot appeal against court costs.
If you disagree with our decision, you should write to us to tell us why you disagree.
You can email counciltax@rossendalebc.gov.uk or write to us at:
