Auckland rates explained
: An Auckland rates bill has three parts: the fixed Uniform Annual General Charge (UAGC), a value-based general rate (business properties pay 31% of general rates), and targeted rates. The 2026/27 average rise is 7.9%. From 2027/28 the Long-term Plan 2024–2034 forecasts average rises of no more than 3.5% a year (a forecast, not a cap). Source:
