Where your rates go, how they're calculated, regional council rates, rebates and what to do when buying or selling a home.
Rates are based on your property's capital value, land use and whether it receives targeted rates, a rates remission or is non-rateable.
Breakdown of the Wellington City Council rates.
In August 2024, we introduced a levy to all ratepayers to pay for the construction of the Moa Point sludge minimisation facility.
We collect rates on behalf of the Greater Wellington Regional Council. These rates are set by Greater Wellington.
When you are buying or selling a home, it's your responsibility to know what rates you owe.
Your rates help to keep Wellington running.
