Rates are based on:
- Capital value – an annual
assessment of the property’s value in relation to current
market values and
- Land use – what the property's
assessed use is (e.g. residential or commercial) determines
its differential
rating category.
Differential Rating Categories
The Council has two principle differential rating categories:
- base differential (includes residential properties)
- commercial, industrial and business differential
Within each differential, there are sub categories. These
categories indicate the rates types associated with the property
and whether the property is fully or partially non-rateable.
Rate Types
Wellington City Council sets its rates in two types:
- General rates – paid by all
ratepayers.
- Targeted rates – paid by a specific group of ratepayers who receive a specific service - e.g.
- Water for properties connected to supply
- Downtown levy for commercial properties in the downtown area
