Paying your rates
There are a number of ways you can pay your 2023-24 rates.
Debit Card or Credit Card payments (using Mastercard or Visa) can be made at one of our offices or can be paid online. Payments by credit card will incur a 1.2% surcharge.
Pay direct to our bank account. From your list of bank’s pre-loaded payees list, select Bay of Plenty Regional Council. You can also manually set up Bay of Plenty Regional Council as a payee using the following details:
Account number: 06-0489-0094734-00
Swift code: ANZBNZ22
ANZ Bank, Whakatāne Branch.
Particulars - Surname and Initials

Reference - Valuation Reference (found on the top right-hand corner of your rates invoice)
Payments made after the bank’s processing times are processed the next business day.
Please note - automatic payments
Customers can set up an automatic payment, but this is not monitored and will not avoid receiving a penalty if not paid by due date.
