How to appeal against a decision on housing allowance

Incorrect net wealth or tax value of your home

If you believe that incorrect information about your assets or the assessed value of your home was used in the assessment of your housing allowance application, you may appeal the decision.

The tax value of your own home is 25% of its assumed market value. You can calculate the tax value of your home using the Tax Administration’s housing calculator. Learn more about the tax value of housing on skatteetaten.no.

You can appeal if you live in your own home and the wrong tax value has been used for the property.

How to appeal:

  • Complete the complaint form below.
  • You don’t need to document the information
  • Send the appeal in the post to your local municipality’s postal address. You can find the address on the decision letter you received.
