Changes to the valuation process
Notices of valuation are sent to property owners and
lessees that have a registered lease in accordance with the Local Government
(Rating) Act 2002.
Under the central government legislation, the person generally liable for rates is the person listed as the owner of
the Certificate of Title. This means that people with long term leases for a
part of a property, eg for one shop in a block of ten, are not recorded as
the ratepayer. They do not receive notices of valuation, or rates assessments or invoices.
Under the legislation, whole properties are rated. This means that there
is one rates bill for the block of ten shops and the person responsible for
paying the bill, with some exceptions, is the owner of the block.

Information available for inspection
The Local Government (Rating) Act 2002, prevents Auckland
City Council from providing owner and or ratepayer name/s due
to privacy issues.
The Local Government (Rating)
Amendment Act 2004 introduces the provision for councils to once again provide
complete information held on the rating information database in relation to a
rating unit. The new database is known as the complete rating information
database (CRID) and includes names and addresses of property owners, unless they
request to be excluded.
The CRID is available for inspection at our principal office at
the Civic Centre.
