Renfrewshire Council

If you think we've made a wrong decision related to your council tax, you can appeal that decision. This means we'll review it again and consider changing our decision.

What you can appeal

If you think your property's council tax band is wrong, you'll need to 'make a proposal' to the Scottish Assessors Association to change your council tax band. Find out how to do this on the Renfrewshire Valuation Joint board website.

You can appeal to us directly for all other council tax decisions.

For example, you could appeal if you disagree with how we calculate your charges or if you think someone else should be responsible for your property's charges.

How to appeal a council tax decision

Appeal a council tax decision in writing by sending your appeal to:

The Assessor and Electoral Registration Officer
Renfrewshire Valuation Joint Board
The Robertson Centre, 16 Glasgow Road
Paisley PA1 3QF

Tell us what decision you're appealing and what evidence you'd like us to review.

You must continue to pay your existing council tax bills while you're waiting for our response, which could take up to 2 months. If your appeal is successful and we change our decision, we'll adjust your future payments or give you a refund.

What to do if you're not satisfied with our response

If you appealed a council tax decision and are not satisfied with our response, you can request an independent review from the Local Taxation Chamber.

You can only request an independent review from the Local Taxation Chamber if you've already appealed directly to us and received our response - or if it's been more than 2 months since you appealed and you've still not received our response.

Request an independent ruling by emailing the Local Taxation Chamber at LTCAdmin@scotcourtstribunals.gov.uk or phoning them on 01698 390 012.

You can also request an independing ruling by sending your request to:

Local Taxation Chamber
Bothwell House, First Floor Hamilton Business Park, Caird Park
Hamilton ML3 0QA
