Rates for your property for 2024/2025

Valuation Changes

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 the rates for the next three years. New rateable valuations for Horowhenua properties were sent out by QV in December 2022. These new values have been used by Horowhenua District Council to determine rating from 1 July 2023 and will be used for determining your rates for 2024/2025. 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 2022). Using a common date means that every property is valued on the same basis and at the same time.
