Rating Valuations

A rating value is assigned to every property in New Zealand and updated every three years. Councils use Rating Values as one component in apportioning rates. It consists of:

  • The Capital Value - the price a property would be expected to sell for at the time of the revaluation.
  • The Land Value - the price the land, with no buildings or improvements, would be expected sell for at the time of the revaluation.
  • The Value of Improvements - the value of the buildings or improvements and the difference between the Capital Value and the Land Value.

General Valuation 2024

Property re-valuations are done every three years by our independent valuation provider, Quotable Value.

These valuations are based on property information and market values as at 1 September 2024 and will be used to assess the rates on your property for the next three years.

Your new values will be used as of 1 July 2025.

Property values can be found in our Rating Information Database.

A comparison of the 2024/2025 and the 2025/2026 property valuations using the re-valuations as at 1 September 2024, can now be viewed.

Rating Valuations are solely for the purpose of determining the share of rates each rating unit (property) will pay where rates are levied on a capital value or land value basis. Rates levied on an area or uniform basis, eg per property, are not impacted by rating values.

Hauraki District Council engages a Valuation Service Provider to maintain the rating valuations. Council currently uses Quotable Value to fulfil that role.

When valuations occur every three years, you will have an opportunity to object, free of charge.

Objections to the 2024 Rating Valuations can be made online through our Objection Portal

The Objection period starts Monday 14 April and closes 4:30pm Friday 30 May 2025.
