Does the Local Government (Rating of Whenua Māori) Amendment Act mean homeowners can pay rates on their individual property?

This is called a Separate Rating Area (SRA). You can apply for a SRA through your local city or district council if you would like your house on Māori land to be rated individually. This means the occupier would be responsible for their own rates and can apply for individual rates rebates.  Please contact your local city or district council to apply.
