The way you pay your Regional Council rates is changing from 1 July 2022. Before 1 July 2022, for the 2021-2022 rates year, you should continue to pay your Regional Council rates to your city or district council as usual.
Your rates are assessed annually. The schedule of rates charged are contained in the funding impact statement published in the Long Term Plan 2021-2031.
