How we collect rates

The local councils (territorial authorities) in the Wellington region collect rates on our behalf. While we set and assess regional council rates, your local council will invoice and collect our rates.

We are required to send you a yearly assessment notice which details the amount of rates you will be asked to pay on your property for the year. You will receive our assessment notice together with one from your local council.

In addition to the assessment notices - sent annually - you will receivea combined rates invoice for each rates installment. These will tell you how much to pay for the instalment being billed.

For example, if you own a property in Naenae, you will receive a rates assessment notice from both Greater Wellington and Hutt City Council. You'll also receive a combined invoice.

If you own a property in Miramar then you will receive a rates assessment notice from both Greater Wellington and Wellington City Council. You'll also receive a combined invoice.

Ask your local council

If you have a question about your rates assessment or any of your combined invoices, please contact your local council.
