Welcome to our Solicitor Portal, where you can get rates information regarding properties you’re processing for transfer of ownership.
Receipting over the Christmas period may be delayed from normal timeframes, due to staff being on leave. Please email rates.queries@orc.govt.nz if settlement is before 17th January 2025 to ensure the outstanding amount is accurate.
To access this information, you’ll require a RealMe® login. Once you’ve completed your registration, we’ll confirm you’re registered as a New Zealand solicitor or conveyancer and approve your login request. We aim to complete this within two business days.
Outstanding balances can be confirmed directly by emailing rates.queries@orc.govt.nz
Note: Due to high volumes of payments, we are several days behind in receipting.
If you need to confirm if a payment has been received, please contact our team: rates.queries@orc.govt.nz
