Rates are a charge against a property (rating unit) and set by your local and regional councils. For the Wellington City area, this is Wellington City Council and Greater Wellington Regional Council. Rates are based on what a property is used for (residential or commercial use) and the capital value of the property (as assessed by Quotable Value New Zealand Limited). Change from Annual to Three-yearly RevaluationsThe Council is re-introducing three-yearly property valuations in line with other local authorities. Further information about the change is shown on page 13 of the Draft Annual Plan. There will be no revaluation in 2008.
