Estimated Rates Calculator 2025-26

Look up the estimated rates for your property. 

The rates estimation below is based on the proposed Annual Plan 2025-26. Your rates will be levied and arrive in your mailbox or inbox in September 2025.

Disclaimer: This is the estimated rates position based on property values as at 31 January 2025 for the Otago region. It is likely that the estimated rate in the dollar will change due to movements in the property value between 31 January 2025 and 30 June 2025. 

Rates for the 2025/2026 period will be calculated based on the property value as at 30 June 2025.

The following known circumstances will impact the property valuations in the period 31 January 2025 to 30 June 2025:

  • Queenstown Lakes District Council revaluation performed every 3 years
  • Valuation changes due to upheld objections from district revaluations or capital value improvements

The impact of changes in property valuations is likely to be greater in smaller targeted rating schemes due to the smaller number of properties in those schemes.

If you have any questions about the estimated rates on your property (including if you think an error has been made) please contact rates.queries@orc.govt.nz or phone 0800 474 082 and we can examine this for you.
