Application form
If you're eligible, once you receive your rates bill, complete the application form on Govt.nz. You'll need to provide proof of income with your application. The form has to be completed and returned back to us before 30 June 2024.
If you're successful, we'll deduct the amount of your rebate from your rates bill. If you've already paid your rates in full, we'll contact you about your rebate.
