Pay your rates

Payble is our new flexible way to pay your rates, giving you more control over how and when you make payments.

It’s easy to:    

• choose how you pay, using a bank account, debit card or credit card 

• choose a payment date that suits you, such as aligning payments with your pay cycle

• check your balance and upcoming payments   

• create a payment plan that suits your budget   

• update your details whenever you need to   

• pay your rates in full or make payments throughout the year.

Payment options 

One-off payments 
Make a single payment at any time during the year. You can pay the full amount or make occasional payments as you go. Note, you will still need to make sure your invoice is paid in full by 20 October 2026.

Autopay  
Set up to pay your rates invoice each year on the due date, 20 October.

Flexible payments  
Choose weekly, fortnightly, monthly or quarterly payments. This option gives you the most control — choose your payment day, skip a payment if necessary, or pay ahead when you’re able.

Your assessment sets out the different parts to your rates, and how your total amount owing has been calculated for the year.

Please note that the rates shown on the assessment will vary across the region depending on the different types of targeted rates that will apply.

Your invoice shows your annual rates, any payments you’ve already made, any adjustments to your account, and the amount due on or before the payment due date.

What is the Quayside Holdings Limited reduction on my invoice?

Every year Bay of Plenty Regional Council receives a dividend from Quayside Holdings Limited. The reduction shown on your invoice is an indication of the benefit the dividend from Quayside Holdings Limited has made to your rates bill. If the dividend wasn’t received by the Regional Council, your rates would be higher by this amount. You can find out more about this reduction on our rates information hub.
