This service is provided by Auckland City Council as a public service. Use of this service to retrieve information constitutes your awareness and agreement to the following conditions of use.

The values shown are as at 1 July 2005 and are set for rating purposes. Auckland City does not provide current market values.

Amended valuations, as a result of new improvements to a property for example, may not be displayed for several weeks due to the need to process and verify the information.

The preparation and provision of the information has been made in good faith from a number of sources, which are believed to be reliable. While all due care has been taken, Auckland City Council does not give any warranty that any information contained is accurate.

Auckland City does not invite you or any visitor to act upon the information provided by this service.

Help using this service

This service only contains information on properties within the Auckland City Council boundaries. If you are unsure if the address you are looking for is within Auckland City boundaries, you can check it against the ward boundaries.
When you enter the address of the property you want to look up, enter only the street number in the street number field.

do not enter letters or numbers - for example, if you wish to locate 20a Queen Street, enter 20 Queen and select the unit from the list displayed

do not enter unit numbers - for example if you wish to locate 5/23 Queen Street, enter 23 Queen street and select the unit number from the list displayed

If you receive a message that the street you entered could not be located:

try entering the first few letters of the street name in case we have an alternative spelling.

try re-entering the name of the street on its own, ie leave out the street type such as Avenue, Road, rd, etc.

enter the full name of the street - eg Great South, not Gt South and Great North, not Gt North.

for streets with 'Mount' in them, this is abbreviated to Mt - eg Mt Eden Road or Mt Albert Rd.

If you are unsure of the spelling, enter the first three letters of the street name and select the correct street from the results listed. You can search with the first letter of the street name, but it could take a long time for the results to be displayed and may appear as though there are problems with your connection.
If you are unsure of the street number, enter the street name on its own, then select the property from the list.
You do not need to use wild cards (*) to search for streets, eg Espla*. If you are unsure of the spelling, enter the first few letters without the wild card.
If there is more than one street name matching the one you entered, the streets with the suburb will be displayed, so you can select the one you want.
Use the assessment number to confirm the property is the correct one.
If there is any information contained in this service that you wish to query, or you believe to be incorrect, please contact us.

When information is 'not applicable' or 'not available'

Information on the property you have searched for may, in certain circumstances, show as 'not applicable'. This could be for the following reasons:

Item	If	Then	Suggestion
Land area	Address is original of property that has been sub-divided	Information will be recorded against new property	Check individual sub sections.
Land area	Property is a cross-lease	Land area will show as share - eg 1/10 SH 2500. Indicates share of total land area for that property	Check legal description information
Valuation information	With the introduction of the Local Government (Rating) Act 2002 not all addresses will be separately rated and if so would not have a separate valuation assessment.	Information will be recorded against the property on which the certificate of title is held. Click here for more information.	Check individual sub section.
	Address is original of property that has been sub-divided or cross leased.	Information will be recorded against new property.	Check back after 1 July in the new rating year
	Address is rated for the current year but is undergoing changes or improvements.	The updated values for the property will not yet be confirmed. You can check the values as they were at the time the rates were set for the year. Use the back button on your browser and click on the link 'view the rates calculation and instalments' for valuation information.	Contact us for information about consents lodged against the property.
Description of improvements	Improvements may be listed against the main property or the individual sub sections		Check main and or individual sub section
Owner's name	Recent changes to legislation (the Local Government (Rating) Act 2002 and the Rating Valuations Act 1998) prohibit Auckland City from publishing names and postal addresses contained in valuation and rating records which will be used for rating purposes from 1 July 2003.
Any or all	If the address is a road, railway or other type of accessway, lake or river, conservation reserve, government owned school or university, marae, cemetery, place of worship, hospital or other similar pieces of land. These properties are classified as 'non rateable'.
Previous years rates	There were no rates for this property last year, this may be because it is a new property or there has been a change to the property structure.

Information for flats, apartment buildings and towers can be complex, so we recommend that you contact us for this information.
