Rates for your property for 2025/2026

At least once every three years every district and city in New Zealand is revalued to set the values that the Council will use to charge rates for the next three years. New rateable valuations for Horowhenua properties will be sent out by QV in mid-December 2025. These new values will be used by Horowhenua District Council to determine rating from 1 July 2026. To find out more about the revaluation process, please visit our How Will Revaluations Affect Your Rates page.

Revaluation doesn't increase the amount Council collects from rates, it just helps us to work out everyone’s share of rates. Rating valuations provide the means to share the cost of the rates across the district according to a set of property values that are provided for every property on a common date (1 August 2025). Using a common date means that every property is valued on the same basis and at the same time.
