Rateable value

There doesn't appear to be any logic as to how rateable(or catastral value as in Spain) is levied. Our Catastral value was increased in 2017 from 126€yr to 349€ a year and backdated 4yrs previous incurring over 1400€ payment to pay that year(plus of course we,d already paid the 126€ for previous 4years by direct debit) Apparrantly the catastral value is supposed to be revalued every 10 years but its done with no logic at all, not done by area, not done alphabetically, its pure pot luck!.I cant compare to another identical property as we're in the campo detatched but I have a neighbour who has been paying 245€ for past 8 years and a friend with much larger property who has paid 105€ for past 16years, so as said no logic at all.      I dont know who you could contact, Town Hall maybe but someone will probably answer your query. Could be your neighbour is due for a revaluation shortly which may then take theirs higher than yours.
