Summarise A Long Council Tax Band Appeal Guidance Page Into Steps

You suspect your council tax band is wrong and the official guidance page is three thousand words of caveats before it tells you what to actually do. This turns it into ordered steps, tells you what happens to your bill while you wait, and flags the one risk worth knowing about before you start. Suits anyone considering a council tax band challenge.
