How are rates calculated?

Rates are a tax on property and form the major component of funding available for local authorities to finance their activities. Rates are assessed on properties within the provisions of the Local Government (Rating) Act 2002.

Horowhenua District Council sets two sorts of rates: targeted rates, which fund specific activities, and general rates, which fund everything else.

For more information please visit the how rates are calculated section of our website.
