Property revaluations

Every three years we have to value all properties in the district to help us work out everyone’s share of the rates.

2025 Property Revaluations

Quotable Value (QV) began sending property owners and ratepayers the latest revaluations from 12 November 2025.

These reflect property values as at 1 August 2025.

You can object to the revised valuations in writing or online at QV's Rating Valuations webpage before the close of business on 19 December 2025.

Objection forms are available from NPDC or QV and should be posted to:

Quotable Value Ltd – Business Support
Private Bag 39 818
Wellington Mail Centre
Lower Hutt 5045

Properties in New Plymouth District are primarily rated on land value.

Land values for residential properties in our district have decreased by about 2.4 per cent on average in the last three years. But a 2.4 per cent valuation decrease doesn’t mean a 2.4 per cent rates decrease.

Usually only properties with valuation increases or decreases that exceed the average will pay a proportionately higher share of rates. If the total rates were a pie, the revaluation determines your slice, or how much you contribute. The revaluation doesn't make the pie bigger or smaller.

The latest values were done independently by QV to reflect market value at 1 August 2025 and were audited by the Office of the Valuer-General.

Rates are set on 1 July each year in line with the Annual Plan which takes into account how much revenue we receive from other sources. The land value is one of several factors used to calculate your share of the general rate. Your total rates will include the general rate plus targeted rates for the services provided by NPDC. These are listed on your rates assessment notice which is sent to you at the end of July.

New Plymouth District ratepayers pay rates to NPDC and to Taranaki Regional Council (TRC), which NPDC collects on TRC's behalf. Please contact TRC for information on TRC rates.

The latest valuations are available from Quotable Value or at the Civic Centre in Liardet Street, New Plymouth.
