We have a remission policy to provide for the remission of all or some rates in a number of circumstances. Each remission category has specific criteria that must be met.

Payment Conditions

Council will remit all the current and historic penalties on your rates account provided you meet our requirements and approval of this application is granted by the Chief Executive:

  • No arrangements will be put in place until Council has received this completed signed application form and a completed Easy Pay Direct Debit form.

  • You agree to enter into Council’s Easy Pay Direct Debit scheme to repay current rates moving forward. 

  • That the agreed proposed rates lump sum repayment amount is repaid by the proposed repayment date. 

  • Should this arrangement be dishonoured at anytime, the agreement will be deemed void and no penalties will be remitted.

  • (If applicable), I am authorised to enter into this payment arrangement on behalf of all owners of the property.

Waitomo District Council reserves the right to change the Rates Lump Sum Payment Penalty Remission application conditions.
