Wellington’s rating policy review – have your say!

Wellingtonians are being invited to help inform the future of the city’s rating system as Wellington City Council begins engagement on a review of its rating policies.

The Council is proposing five changes:

Changing how we calculate rates, from a capital value-based system to a land value-based system.
Changing the commercial differential over six years, from $3.70 in rates for commercial properties for every $1 of household rates, to $3 for every $1 of household rates.
Increasing the area where the vacant land and derelict building rate can be charged.
Introducing a rates differential for the new water services provider Tiaki Wai.
Simplifying the rates remissions for earthquake prone buildings.

Consultation is open from 19 October to 15 November 2026.

Te Taurapa Council Planning and Finance Committee Chair, Councillor Diane Calvert says: “Rates affect everyone, so we want everyone to know about these proposals, read the information, and give us their feedback.

“This review is not about the total amount of rates the council collects, it’s about the proportion collected from different types of ratepayers.

“Some of the proposals change how rates are allocated, which may increase rates for some properties, and reduce rates for other properties.”

https://www.letstalk.wellington.govt.nz/rating-policies

The consultation web page includes an online capital value/land value rates comparison tool. Ratepayers can use this tool to compare their current rates under the capital value rating system with an estimate of their rates under a land value rating system.

Mayor Andrew Little also recommends all Wellingtonians take part in the consultation.

“This is really important as this is the way we levy rates across the city, our residents and businesses. Rates are the biggest source of council’s revenue to pay for the community services and facilities that we love and rely on. These proposals affect everyone in Wellington, so everyone should have their say.”

No decisions about the proposals have been made yet.

The Council will review all the feedback in December before deciding which proposals proceed to detailed development. The detailed proposals will be open for formal public consultation as part the draft 2027–37 ten-year budget (Long-term Plan) engagement in April.

The Council may decide to proceed with all, some, or none of the proposals, or make other changes following this initial consultation.
