A rates remission is a reduction in the amount of rates you owe, or waiving the collection of rates altogether. The Regional Council adopts the policies which set out the criteria around its remissions every year.
Your property may be eligible for a reduction in its rates (a remission) if it meets the criteria set out in these policies – which usually focus on helping the Regional Council achieve its outcomes.
There are no changes to the types of remissions available in the rates year 1 July 2022 – 30 June 2023, so your city or district council will have a list of remissions available on their website.
