Revaluation 2010 - Appeal Rights

The Valuation Notice you have received provides details of how to make an appeal.

However, if you have reason to believe that the valuation is incorrect you may contact the Assessor’s office to discuss the matter.  You may be able to reach agreement with the Assessor without having to submit a formal appeal.

If you do not agree with the outcome of your discussions with the Assessor you can make an appeal. The final date for lodging an appeal in connection with the 2010 Revaluation is 30 September 2010.

Further guidance on appeal procedures is available at www.scotland.gov.uk/revaluation.
