Our rating values are intended to include the impact of earthquake damage, so that affected properties pay the correct amount of rates without the need for additional remissions.
It is the ratepayer's responsibility to declare if a property has unrepaired damage significant enough to affect its Rating Valuation.
If you consider that your rating value does not adequately reflect the extent of your unrepaired earthquake damage, you should contact QV to see if your valuation needs reviewing.
Please note that any change to your rating value cannot be applied to rates until the following 1 July.
If you have any queries about the impact of unrepaired earthquake damage on your rates, please email us at remissions@ccc.govt.nz.
