Waipā revaluations locked in for May

Ken Morris

Waipā’s rating revaluations will be in the post in the last week of May.

The revised date comes after two false starts from council’s independent property provider which saw revaluations delayed twice.

Deputy chief executive Ken Morris said he was pleased to have a firm date.

“We know people have been expecting their revised property valuations for some time, and it’s good to have certainty.”

New property values will be based on the most likely selling price as at August 1, 2022 but are not intended to be used as market valuations.

Valuations will be used by council to help set the equitable distribution of rates for the 2023/24, 2024/25 and 2025/26 rating year.

If owners do not agree with their new rating valuation, they will have a right to object. Information on how to object will be included in the property revaluation notices.
