This short video provides an overview of your rates - what goes into your bill and how revaluations can affect what you pay.
Your property rates help keep Tasman running, supporting more than 100 services that benefit our communities every day.
From maintaining roads and footpaths to providing safe drinking water and wastewater services, your rates fund essential infrastructure we rely on throughout our lives. They also support parks, libraries, and community facilities that contribute to the wellbeing of our communities.
Rates also help fund important services such as community safety and the regulatory and compliance work that keeps our District safe and functioning well.
To continue delivering these services and maintaining critical infrastructure, it is important that rates are paid on time. While we understand the challenges many people have faced following recent severe weather events, we are not able to delay or stop collecting rates altogether.
We have adopted our Annual Plan 2026 - 2027 with an average rates revenue increase of 9.9%. The change to your individual rates may be higher or lower than the average depending on factors such as your property’s location, whether it’s residential, commercial, or rural, and the services provided to your property, for example water and wastewater.
If you are finding it difficult to keep up with your rates instalments, please get in touch. We’re here to talk through the options available and can work with you to find a payment arrangement that suits your situation.
