How rates work

Property rates are a charge against a property (known as a rating unit). Property rates are set by local and regional councils. For the Kāpiti Coast District, this is Kāpiti Coast District Council and Greater Wellington Regional Council.

What do property rates pay for?
Rates help pay for services and facilities for the Kāpiti community that are either critical (ie, wastewater management) or beneficial to the community as a whole – often the things that make our district a more desirable place to live.
Ratonga | Services
Explaining rates
Your rates are based on the rateable value of your property, and used to help pay for community services and facilities. A property with a higher rateable value will pay more rates.

Rates for 2021/22
In 2021/22 our property rates increased an average of 7.79 percent across the district, to cover the cost of providing our services and facilities, and initiatives identified as part of our Long-term Plan 2021–41.
