Poll: The increases has to stop! Should property rates be based on land value or service received/offered?

David from Glenfield

WHY am I slammed on rates on value? Do I get more services?

Weird thing is the increase of properties in Auckland paying rates now more than ever. Yet I pay 5 times more in rates, in same time frame my house hasn't increased 5 times

WHY am I slammed on rates on value? Do I get more services?

Weird thing is the increase of properties in Auckland paying rates now more than ever. Yet I pay 5 times more in rates, in same time frame my house hasn't increased 5 times

I do not understand If own an expensive house or a cheap house that my rates are worked out on value. My income is the same, the services I receive are the same. I use the toilet/shower the same as most. I have no rights to how my rates money is spent on parks, roads, trains ( i am on the shore mo trains) countless frivolous event spaces that I may use once in a lifetime.

Yet I am slammed on rates on value, I pay for my rubbish collection, I pay my road tax via fuel and licensing, I pay, dearly if I go to an event that uses the frivolous event space . I am dammed, if I use a vehicle, with less street parking everywhere, and pay more for gas, with Auckland tax.

If I choose to add value to the land and have 3 story house over a single story, I pay more rates, WHY?
Auckland Council Community News @TVNZ @NEWSHUB

A week on, I was discussing this post with a few people without saying I had posted it. They said let the rich ones pay more, and the poor ones pay less. I still asked why? If I buy a loaf of bread for $2 if I live alone in small house, is it ok that a rich person pay more for the same bread if they live alone in a big house and earn 500k a year?
Rates are exactly the same, it is a service, just like licensing a car, all of the above receive the same service or product, who actually receives it, should not determine the price rates should be no different as the recived outcome parks roads inorganic etc are the same through out Auckland rating area. Yet as a shore person we have no train we may get a cycle lane that was promised with the coat hanger. the harbor tunnel 60 years ago was planned population approx 44k, 2021 expected 1.6 million hence approximately 3 times the amount of rates revived, at an inflation of approx 4 times over same period so the factor of rates being collected now is staggering 12 times more per year, yet still walk around and you see concrete jungles of shared spaces a couple more parks (due to developers gifts etc) yet the services I get are still worse off now than ever and I still have to pat more rates in a gridlock Auckland!! WHY?

The increases has to stop! Should property rates be based on land value or service received/offered?

How will your neighbourhood be affected by council's revaluation?

Todd Niall Reporter from Auckland Stuff

Hi Neighbours, Auckland Council is winding up the citywide revaluation of all properties, as a basis for carving up next year's rate's pie. Analysis for Stuff shows cheaper suburbs, especially the south may face higher than average rate rises in July 2022. How will you fare?

Hi all,

I have started a petition to ask Auckland Council to rethink the rates increases. They are very high and are going to ultimately disadvantage our city economically, and have the potential to add to poverty for our most vulnerable.

To make this happen we are going to need every single possible signature and share to gather a large enough voice to be heard.

Would love you support, please sign and share. Let's make our voice heard and challenge our council to make decisions that are better for our community.
