"What happens if your rates bill arrives late"

If you do not get your rates invoice at least 14 days before the payment is due, you do not have to pay until 14 days after you get the invoice. This means you will have 14 days from the time the invoice is delivered to you to make the payment for the rating unit or separate rating area. You can find more information about changes to this rule in the Local Government (Rating of Whenua Māori) Amendment Act 2021.
