They run by a number of names, quotable value, rateable valuation, government valuation but more so it is the basis that the District councils base their rates off. You can get more info at the QV site on the hows whens and whys including how to object if you feel yours is not right.
I was in at the Whangarei District council on Friday and had a quick glance over a few properties which showed minor ups and downs – mine dropped 20k – objection prepared! A few other areas had increased by 5 to 20k. All in all there seemds to be little change on the 2006 values which is in line with what the market has done. I would imagine our copies should arrive in the post this week so should be a conversation point for a week or two!
