Wellington City Council is considering a transition to Land Value Rates this year. Find your ward, email your councillors, and ask them to support a fairer rating system.
Land Value Rates would shift the rating base off buildings and onto land. That means lower rates for 60% of Wellingtonians, particularly low income homeowners. It would reduce the penalty for improving the property and create a stronger incentive to use well-located land efficiently.
You may also want to contact the Mayor directly to support a transition to Land Value Rates.
This ward is not based on suburb. If you’re enrolled on the Māori roll, you may also want to contact your Māori ward councillor.
