Rates increases
| # | Post |
|---|---|
| 1 | Our rates went up 26% this year so extra $880 a year. Anyone else had big rates increases? annie17111 - 2021-07-19 19:04:00 |
| 2 | I have paid rates for 50 years and they keep going up centaurus2 - 2021-07-19 19:06:00 |
| 3 | I have been trying to tell everyone. Ours are $4000 a year and I bet it will go up more so we can pay for our overpaid and underperforming CEO and his 7 deputies. ???? lakeview3 - 2021-07-19 20:53:00 |
| 4 | Doesn't worry us now, sold off the rentals. masturbidder - 2021-07-19 21:48:00 |

Oh they sure have hiked them! They announced a 9.5% increase but I’ve seen the increases for half a dozen different houses across four different suburbs, they have all increased by 15-20%, seems pretty unlikely that it’s just a coincidence that those 6 properties just happen to all be well above average increases… either the announced 9.5% is BS or they’ve given the 7 deputy CEOs properties huge rate cuts to even things out! rowlf - 2021-07-20 06:07:00 |

| 11 | It’s not just rates that increase annually. lovelurking - 2021-07-20 10:06:00 |

| 13 | If the value of a property goes up then surely the rates go up anyway without an actual rate increase, so a 9% increase on top of a value increase could be any amount of increase. 30 years ago I had my farm devalued by over half, but it's back up to where it was then again and possibly more. bryalea - 2021-07-20 11:55:00 |

| 16 | About 4% here a tad over $100 in total. Next year could be interesting properties are due to have the three yearly valuations done. joanie04 - 2021-07-20 20:40:00 |

They only ever announce the average increase hoping people don't realise that some will get larger than that. Ours is 8.9% but when you look into the detail a lot of properties are getting 10%+. hers.nz - 2021-07-20 22:27:00 |

Across the houses our family own in Rotorua they are all 15-20%, if the average really is 9.5% you’d expect at least one of them to be even close to the average, not all at least half as much again! rowlf - 2021-07-20 22:47:00 |

| 21 | They tell you the "average rate increase", but very few can find the below average rate payer? smallwoods - 2021-07-21 08:43:00 |
