  • Holiday park 12 month license and council tax

    Hello
    I would appreciate any advice. I own a holiday home classified under the caravan act. It is on a holiday park with a 12 month license. It is a simple park with no real leisure facilities. I have paid council tax for years and recently challenged the premium, proving l do not occupy this for the 12 months as my contract states weekend and annual holiday only.
    when researching most sites do not charge council tax but my council does under second homes. I intend to challenge this as my property is moveable, old not insulated to modern standards and of limited value.Newer mobile homes are appearing bigger and wider and l am paying the same band. I cannot occupy it legally and wouldn’t wish to do so as it is not insulated like newer properties.
    can anyone advise me on what basis l can challenge? Obviously it’s a holiday park with 12 month license but that doesn’t stop them charging. Would class Q apply here based upon my contract restrictions? Would the fact it is a property recognised within the dimensions and guidelines of the caravan act have any bearing?
    I am fed up as most live on there and many have had their council tax deleted when l view online. Some are not paying and live there permanently. I pay on my own house and l feel the council are safeguarding their funding on holiday parks they know people live.. but l don’t!! Any suggestions?

    Hello, I’m in the same situation although the holiday site 3 mile away (with the same LA) has not been banded. I want to challenge the banding but need to understand how to do this. Happy to share any research with you that I come across

      Welcome to LB

      Each council has on their website where you can challenge Council Tax, a case of making your case if they persist.
