Premises occupied and used for manufacturing purposes may qualify for industrial derating. If you would like your property to be considered as industrial for rating purposes, you should make an application to the District Valuer within Land & Property Services (LPS).
You can:

• apply online using the Non-Domestic Valuation List on a map

• download the LPS CR3 application form

 
On receipt of this application, a valuer will visit the premises and consider the use of the premises and whether an entitlement to industrial derating should apply. Following this review, the District Valuer in LPS will issue a Certificate of Valuation showing the outcome of the review.

Appeal your rating valuation

If you are dissatisfied with the District Valuer's decision or you consider the valuation on your Certificate of Valuation to be incorrect, you can appeal this to the Commissioner of Valuation within 28 days. To appeal your valuation you must complete a CR20 valuation appeal form and return it to the Commissioner of Valuation.
