Apply for rates rebates
The full rates rebate for the 2022/2023 year is $700. To be eligible for the full rebate your income must be $28,000 or less, but you can still receive a partial rebate if your income is higher, up to $50,000.
You must be the ratepayer on our records AND reside at the address for which you wish to apply for a rebate as at 1 July 2020. Rebates are intended for residential properties including Retirement village occupants with a licence to occupy and Māori Freehold Landowners with a separate rating unit.
Council needs to know your total income before tax for the year 1 April 2021– 31 March 2022 to process a rates rebate application.
Please visit the DIA website for further information on what the requirements are and how to apply. Our Rates Officer is happy to assist with these applications.
