Poll: Are you in favour of a proposed rates rise?
More than 15,000 properties could face a rates rise of at least 35 per cent under Auckland Council plans to boost revenue.
The biggest boost of $28 million would come from a higher rating on land zoned as residential, commercial or industrial which is either vacant or undeveloped.
Council officials estimated 15,500 homes could see their rates rise at least 35 per cent under the plan, with 1,400 business properties facing rises starting at 82 per cent.
The proposal is part of a range of potential tweaks, including a new rate to fund investments to tackle climate change and one to help affordable housing initiatives.
