Rates rebates and remissions
You may be eligible for a rates rebate, depending on your income, number of dependants and/or the type of building you own.
Buyers, sellers and solicitors
From 1 July 2022, your lawyer needs to contact Regional Council and your local city or district council to ensure rate balances are paid.
From August 2022 we're going to start collecting our rates ourselves. Since the Regional Council was established in 1989, the seven district and city councils across the region have been doing this for us. We’re making changes so that you can get to know the work your rates help fund.
