Rates explained

Where your rates go

Information about the proposed 2018/19 rates funding for the service areas we provide, per $100 of total rates.

Rates are based on your property's capital value, land use and whether it receives targeted rates, a rates remission or is non-rateable.

Information is available showing the breakdown of the Wellington City Council rates.

We collect rates on behalf of the Greater Wellington Regional Council. These rates are set by Greater Wellington.

Residential ratepayers on low incomes may be eligible for a rates rebate.

When you are buying or selling a home, it's your responsibility to know what rates you owe.
