Auckland Council has released it's latest rating valuations and they show an average value increase of 34% compared to the previous valuations, dating from 2017.
Council rating valuations are supposed to be re-set every three years, however Auckland's last revaluation which was supposed to take place in 2020, was postponed due the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
There have been big variations in the rate of value increase around the region.
In general, the biggest increases in percentage terms have occurred in areas where property prices are lowest, while the more expensive areas have recorded lower rates of valuation increases.
The maps below show the rate at which the latest revaluations have increased compared to the previous 2017 valuations in each of the Auckland Council wards.
The smallest increase was in the Waitemata Ward, which includes some of the city's most expensive suburbs such as Herne Bay, Grey Lynn and Ponsonby. Its rating valuations have increased by 15%.
The biggest increases were in Aotea/Great Barrier Island at 59%, followed by Mangere/Otahuhu 49%, Maungakiekie-Tamaki 43%, Henderson/Massey 41%, Waiheke 41%, Manurewa 39% and Papakura 39%.
Auckland Council's rating valuations are undertaken by the government-owned valuation company Quotable Value, and are based on most likely selling prices as at 1 June 2021. They will be used to apportion the rates which property owners will pay for the 2022/2023 year.
