Nelson City Council, on behalf of the Department of Internal Affairs, administers the rates rebate scheme for people who are having difficulty paying their rates.

You may qualify for a refund of a portion of your rates depending on your income, rates and the number of dependents living with you.

You can apply for a rates rebate before 30 June 2021, if the following is applicable to you:

  • You pay the rates on the address that you live at

  • You were living at that address at 1 July 2020

  • Your name is on the rates account

Please visit our Customer Service Centre team at 110 Trafalgar Street, Nelson, give us a call on

03 546 0200 or email us on rates.rebates@ncc.govt.nz to see if you qualify for a rates rebate. 

Rates rebates are granted under the Rates Rebate Act 1973 and you must provide income and accommodation information so your rebate can be calculated.
