If you own a property in Porirua City, you’ll receive a rates assessment notice at the start of the financial year (1 July) showing the rates you need to pay for that year.
The Rates Assessment Notice includes your property’s valuation and other information we’ve used to calculate your rates.
You will also receive a separate rates assessment notice showing the rates you are being charged by the Greater Wellington Regional Council.
Unless you make other payment arrangements with us, your rates are paid in four instalments for the financial year, which runs from 1 July to 30 June. We will email or post you a rates invoice for each instalment one month before it is due.
We are contracted to collect rates set by Greater Wellington Regional Council.
For more information about Greater Wellington’s rates policy, phone (04) 384 5708 or email info@gw.govt.nz.
There are 4 rate instalments per year.
